Work-in-Progress: A Holistic Approach to Bridging the Gap between Power Engineering Education and Electric Power Industry
The gap between the industry expectations and power engineering education is becoming one of the significant barriers in workforce development in the energy sector. For the purpose of closing the gap, the curriculum in power engineering is expected to follow the up-to-date industry demand and workflow so that the students can be job-ready and competent in the energy job markets before graduation. However, the renewal of the deliverables of the courses is time-consuming and resource intensive. This paper presents an approach of data collection and analysis for curriculum development, which considers all the related stakeholders in curriculum renewal. The preliminary results of the pilot data collection are presented, demonstrating the effectiveness of the data collection method and the initiative of updating the curriculum framework. The contribution will benefit power engineering educators in course renewal for further iterations considering timely industry perspectives and students’ feedback.
