Abstract

For the past two decades enrollment in power engineering programs has been low in most universities. This area of engineering has been less attractive to the bright students, as it had the reputation of being an old, mature and unexciting area with limited opportunities for innovation. Employment opportunities in the electric power industry have also been limited. This situation appears to be rapidly changing. The restructuring of the electric power industry - a shift from the monopolistic to a competitive structure has introduced new financial and social pressures. The challenge for the industry is discussed. Both the industry and university participants stand to gain from a healthy and meaningful collaborative research partnership. In addition to leading to very good power engineering education programs, such partnerships could produce new technologies of immense value to the industrial partner. Many of the problems the power industry needs to solve today will require the application of several supporting technologies. Universities are in a better position to form a pool of experts in different disciplines and apply them for the solution of power system problems.
产学研合作:加强电力工程教育的一种手段
在过去的二十年里,大多数大学的电力工程专业的入学率一直很低。这个工程领域对聪明的学生没有那么大的吸引力,因为它被认为是一个古老、成熟、乏味的领域,创新机会有限。电力行业的就业机会也很有限。这种情况似乎正在迅速改变。电力工业的结构调整- -从垄断结构向竞争结构的转变- -带来了新的财政和社会压力。讨论了该行业面临的挑战。工业界和大学参与者都将从健康和有意义的合作研究伙伴关系中获益。除了产生非常好的电力工程教育项目外,这种合作关系还可以为工业合作伙伴产生具有巨大价值的新技术。当今电力行业需要解决的许多问题将需要应用几种支持技术。大学更有能力形成不同学科的专家,并将他们应用于解决电力系统问题。
