The mission of the Center for Electric Power is to advance and apply scientific and engineering knowledge associated with the generation, trnnsmission, distribution, and use of electric power, while supporting the instructional program of the University in academic areas associated with electric power.
Graduate education is an integral goal of the center.
This opportunity enhances their educational experience and better prepares them for entry into the job market. Center research focuses on solving the problems of our sponsors. It is the matching of center faculty, who each excel in various areas of electric power research to the needs of a particular sponsor which achieves effective results. The scientific and academic communities are enriched when faculty present research results at seminars and conferences around the world. In the past decade, faculty have made such scientific expeditions throughout the United States, as well as to Europe, Asia and Africa.
