The University of Houston Electric Energy Systems Control Program

This paper presents our response to the national need to educate more students in the area of power systems engineering. Our Electric Energy Systems Control Program (EESCP) is described, both in terms of (1) individual courses, sequences of courses, and subprograms of concentration, and (2) the development of the Electric Energy System Control Laboratory Facility (EESCL). The description is organized so as to emphasize the close relationships between the particular EESCL equipment purchased and the development of the individual courses. The present status of the EESCP Program development is given as is an assessment of our progress measured against our educational objectives. Discussion is also provided relative to our future plans in further developing our educational program in power systems education.
