Power engineering education for future manpower needs

Forces that influenced engineering education are briefly discussed to demonstrate their effect on electric power engineering courses. Estimates of manpower needs for the power industry in the next decade are presented realistically. Observations about the sources from whence these men and women will come are made. Finally some suggestions are given for required courses in electric power at the undergraduate level; and for those subjects which are considered important in graduate schools. The power industry is urged to show concern for engineering and engineering technology education, career guidance for young people and proper utilization of manpower.
