Abstract
The changing needs of the electric power systems engineering field are related to increasingly sophisticated demands on electric energy. Research oriented educational philosophy is proposed for providing engineering students with the background, tools, and incentives necessary to function creatively in solving some of today´s challenging engineering problems. A graduate program at MIT designed around this philosophy is presented and discussed.
