摘要

Your recent opinion article was on point; I have been commenting for years that industry and universities need to be working together to educate the new crop of students about the myriad of opportunities in the electric and utility industry. No longer is our industry one of stodginess and simple E=IR knowledge. We need skills in many areas going forward. Smart grids, data analysis and electronic relays open the door for multiple skills. Industry and universities should begin strategizing on work force requirements. When I graduated in the late ′60s, many universities had strong programs related to the power industry. Many of those have faded away, and a new set of programs should be developed.
