Promoting Undergraduate and Graduate Student Participation in the 1999 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting; January 31 through February 4, 1999; New York, NY

在这个项目中，IEEE电力工程学会（PES）电力工程教育委员会的学生会议活动小组委员会概述了一项计划，通过赞助电气工程专业的学生参加IEEE PES年度冬季会议，提高学生对电力工程领域的兴趣。该项目的目的是为美国学生提供一个机会，让他们接触到电力工程领域的最新发展，建设和研究。由于传统公用事业结构的重组，电力行业正在发生重大变化，这对电力工程来说是一个尤为关键的时期。对电力工程感兴趣的学生有很多不同的就业机会；机会存在于公用事业、供应商、制造商和咨询公司。这一计划的影响是重大而深远的。这是一个参与电力工程的激动人心的时刻。电力行业目前正在发生重大变化，进入市场的年轻工程师需要面对这些变化所带来的挑战和问题。这个项目将让学生有机会亲身体验电力领域的能量和活力。这将鼓励学生在动力工程领域追求终身事业。

ECS-9876906CrowIn this project, a plan is outlined to continue the efforts of the Student Meeting Activities Subcommittee of the Power Engineering Education Committee of the IEEE Power Engineering Society (PES) to promote student interest in the power engineering field by sponsoring electrical engineering students to attend the IEEE PES annual Winter Meeting. The goal of this project is to provide an opportunity for US students to be exposed to the most recent developments in operation, constructions, and research in the power engineering field. This is a particularly critical time for power engineering as the industry undergoes significant change due to the restructuring of the traditional utility structure. The career opportunities for students interested in power engineering are many and varied; opportunities exist within utilities, vendors, manufacturers, and consulting firms.The impact of this program is significant and far reaching. This is an exciting time to be involved in power engineering. The power industry is currently undergoing major changes, and young engineers entering the marketplace need to be exposed to the challenges and issues these changes are causing. This program will allow students the opportunities to experience first-hand the energy and vitality of the power area. This will hopefully encourage students to pursue a life-long career in the power engineering field.
