What roles can engineers play in making energy more sustainable?
So far, more than 90 cities and two states have committed to achieving a goal of 100% clean energy, and that means there’s a great deal of work ahead.

It takes advanced technical knowledge and creative problem-solving to help revolutionize energy generation,transmission, distribution and consumption. Electrical engineering experts who understand the principles behind the latest in power systems, energy conversion and smart power grids can excel in careers on the cutting edge of renewable power.

Completing a Master of Science in electrical engineering could be a crucial step toward gaining the depth of technical knowledge and management skills to advance into a leadership role in the future of sustainable energy.

This concept calls for developing a management system that integrates multiple renewable energy technologies to meet local power needs and control costs. With inventive engineering to maximize flexibility, the report suggested, a microgrid could become almost completely self-sufficient.
