Abstract :
Development and maintenance of smart grids require power systems engineers to have a good understanding of auxiliary fields like computer networks and vice-versa. This paper discusses a graduate level course and its offered topics towards meeting such cross-disciplinary training objectives. Furthermore, this paper discusses the lessons that can be learnt from such a graduate level course for undergraduate eduction in smart grids.
