IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative™

The Problem

+ Over the next 5 years, as many as 50% of engineers in the power industry could need replacing—mainly due to retirements

+ At the same time, demand for qualified power engineers is projected to increase

+ This path is not sustainable

Survey Participants

– 55 Electric & Gas Utilities

– All Electric Cooperatives

– ~ ½ of all US electric & combination utility employees

Done in 2007, 2008 & 2009

Engineers that may need replacement by 2014 ~51%

US Workforce Survey: Age Distribution

Source: Center for Energy Workforce Development -- Gaps in the Energy Workforce Pipeline Survey

The Need: Skills Basic electrical and electric power engineering

Electronics, load flow, short circuit, stability, transients

Communications Physical media, protocols, info models, networks, traffic analysis

Distributed Computing / Intelligence / Complex Systems Software, agent based computing, local automation, stochastic processes

Security Physical and cyber

Systems of Systems Engineering Integration, control theory, reliability, stability, security

Enterprise Architecture Databases, Service Oriented Architecture
