Why study Power Systems Engineering through CPE?
Energy resources and technology has become a key thrust area of significant importance at several leading institutions. With the synergy in nanotechnology, solar cells and other related sciences at NJIT, we must formalize an advanced energy technology initiative to offer an academic and research program in energy resources, technology management, and alternate energy research. Academic programs in energy technology and management are much needed to prepare the future workforce for the energy and power industry as more than 50% of the workforce in the power industry is retiring in this decade. At the same time, developing new, clean and more efficient energy resources and technologies is of global significance. Prerequisites Applicants are expected to have undergraduate backgrounds in physics, mathematics (through differential equations and vector analysis), electrical networks and devices, electronics, analysis and design methods, transients, electromagnetic fields, and appropriate lab
