Continuing education in the power industry

Conference · · Proc. Am. Power Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5407735
Mr. Anderson considers the electric power industry as composed of the electric utilities; engineering consultants; electrical manufacturers; and large and moderate users of electricity. The need for continuing education applies in all fields, but the author discusses specifically his field, the electric utilities, and more specifically, for Commonwealth Edison. Needs of various companies may vary, though. Five reasons new engineers should continue their education are: educational deficiencies; education in a different field; need for broadening; interests different from education; and need to know company ways. Additional reasons common to all engineers include technological obsolescence; a new position; career satisfaction; and personal and professional growth. The author assures the educators that they have a very important and useful job. (MCW)
