Cooperation of universities and utilities for the education of power-system engineers

The growing complexity of the power industry requires an increased influx to the utilities of highly trained engineers on the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. levels. These men must be specialists in the power field. Ironically, the number of engineers available to the electric utilities is rapidly declining. Few colleges and universities offer specialized courses in the power field. Few professors teach the necessarily specialized courses. And, as a result, few graduates are either interested in or qualified to enter the power industry. The whole problem seems to be money.
