Promoting Undergraduate and Graduate Participation in the IEEE Power Engineering Society in Chicago, IL July 21-25, 2002.

本项目建议继续IEEE电力工程学会（PES）电力工程教育委员会（PEEC）学生会议活动小组委员会的努力，通过赞助90-100名电气工程学生参加将于2002年7月21-25日在伊利诺斯州芝加哥举行的IEEE-PES年度夏季会议，促进学生对电力工程领域的兴趣和参与。该项目的目标是为学生提供一个机会，让他们接触到电力工程领域的设计，操作，施工和研究的最新发展，在他们之间分享想法，并与实践工程师互动。对于电力工程来说，这是一个特别关键的时刻，因为由于传统公用事业结构的重组，该行业正在经历重大变革。至关重要的是要招募全国最优秀和最聪明的工程专业学生进入这个不断发展的领域。对电力工程感兴趣的学生的职业机会是多种多样的;机会存在于公用事业，供应商，制造商和咨询公司。

This project proposes to continue the efforts of the Student Meeting Activities Subcommittee of the Power Engineering Education Committee (PEEC) of the IEEE Power Engineering Society (PES) to promote student interest and participation in the power engineering field by sponsoring 90-100 electrical engineering students to attend the IEEE-PES annual Summer Meeting to be held in Chicago, Illinois July 21-25, 2002. The goal of this project is to provide an opportunity for students to be exposed to the most recent developments in design, operation, construction, and research in the power engineering field, to share ideas amongst themselves, and to interact with practicing engineers. This is a particularly critical time for power engineering as the industry undergoes significant change due to the restructuring of the traditional utility structure. It is crucial to recruit the nation's best and brightest engineering students into this evolving field. The career opportunities for students interested in power engineering are many and varied; opportunities exist within utilities, vendors, manufacturers, and consulting firms.
