Even when a utility company successfully recruits a young engineer, two years or more may pass before he or she can work independently. Why? Because college graduates lack practical knowledge of how a utility company actually works. They are unfamiliar with management aspects of the business. As a result, even the most gifted young engineers must spend months informally "learning the ropes" before they can become true contributors.
This course will substantially accelerate that acclimatization process by providing future project engineers with a basic knowledge of applied engineering in a utility company. It will teach them the project management aspects of modern Transmission and Distribution (T&D) systems as well.
This is the same "real-life" orientation a new utility engineer might receive from his or her supervisors and co-workers. Only it has been structured to provide a rapid and comprehensive overview, with a close connection to real-life specifics, plus exercises and practice sessions to ensure better retention.
This live group seminar is eligible for 13.0 CPE credits. Be aware that state boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit. As of January 1, 2002, sponsored learning activities are measured by program length, with one 50-minute period equal to one CPE credit. One-half CPE credit increments (equal to 25 minutes) are permitted after the first credit has been earned in a given learning activity. You may want to verify that the state board from which your participants will be receiving credit accept one-half credits.
New employees of utility companies or college graduates who want to expand their knowledge and experience in modern transmission and distribution systems engineering, as well as in project management.
