Abstract :
Although the power field has much to offer the electrical engineering graduate, recent years have seen a strong preference on the part of college students for the newer, more “glamourous” fields of electronics and communications. If it is to attract the young engineers it needs, the industry must convince them that there are still challenges to be met in power, that there are developmental problems of just as much interest as those fundamental problems which faced Lamme and Steinmetz, that the power field offers great opportunities in the future.
