Abstract

Oregon Institute of Technology’s (OIT) Strategic Training and Education in Power Systems project cross-trains power engineering graduates in electrical, mechanical, and energy engineering; building on a strong foundation in mathematics and science. OIT graduates also have a firm understanding of renewable energy source integration, energy policy, and economics. OIT will increase the number of energy and systems engineers in the electric power industry by augmenting curriculum and faculty resources, expanding laboratory capabilities, and increasing industry collaboration. New faculty will be hired and laboratory facilities expanded to support anticipated enrollment.
