Invest in the Future of Young Electric Utility Engineers

It is shown how ever-increasing enrollments, the explosion of knowledge, advances in technology, and social changes have affected undergraduate electrical engineering curricula to a point where they are seemingly unsatisfactory for a career in the power field. A program is outlined to provide undergraduate and graduate training to a limited number of engineers serving the public utilities. Concrete suggestions are made for the organization and financing of the proposed scheme. The importance of research at universities is emphasized.
