Power Engineering Colleges

Power engineering is a specialized field of engineering dealing with electrical devices related to motors and transmission of energy. It may also be called "power systems engineering." The tasks of a power engineer include developing and testing electrical products and creating new ways to generate energy. The overall job prospects for power engineers are expected to grow by 11% by 2018, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, especially as companies and the government look for new ways to generate power and become more efficient. The growing field of power engineering is often offered as a concentration as part of a general electrical engineering degree program.
