Power Systems Course for Non-Electrical Engineers

PGL

does anyone know of the above course (not sure if full or part time) apparently being run by UCD? if yes, then can you send me on some details?

cheers!

Heres the course info for it if you haven't seen it already.

As far as I know it takes one year to complete if you have an honours Electrical/Mechanical degree and year and a half if you are entering with a different technical degree, something like physics or geography.

E-mail the programme office and ask if you can come in to talk to someone. Specifically mention that you would like to have a brief chat with a current student as well if it is possible.

this course certainly interests me, but I am not in a position to do it on a full time basis - there are no plans to run this course on a part time basis unfortunately.

i am a chartered civil engineer with 8 years experience in the civil eng consultancy sector. however i have recently joined an electrical eng consultancy, and am now looking to make the transition to the elec eng sector.

as mentioned earlier, i am not in a position to do a course on a full time basis, so does anyone know of any part time courses which would give me a good grounding and starting point in electrical engineering?

cheers

Hi did you get anything back on this query? I also was involved in Production now switched to Electrical and could do with a good elec course

Hi DrDo - I went with this distance part time course in Electrical Power System:

Its pretty challenging but getting through it slowly but surely - due to do my first exam in March

Thanks PGL much appreciated, I looked into your link. Is the material good and which course did you decide to do in the end?

The course is called Electrical Power Systems (EPS). I am currently doing the Systems Fundamentals module. The material is challenging, but good, and also relevant to the line of work I am in - i.e. electrical engineering consultancy involved in grid connections etc.

Has anyone here actually done the course in UCD in Energy Systems Engineering?

Im looking to go back and do a full time postgrad while I have chance. My primary degree is from a electronic and electrical background.

I have been looking at one in particular in the UK. Im wondering does anyone know or have any additional info about it?

Its geared towards power generation and transmission by the course modules.
