A Good Graduate School for Electrical Engineering (Power)?

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi, I'm planning to go to graduate school for master's in EE and I want to know which of the following schools have a good program for power engineering: </p>

<p>(This list is in no particular order)</p>

<ol>
<li>Texas A&M University </li>
<li>University of Texas at Austin</li>
<li>Texas Tech University</li>
<li>Georgia Tech</li>
<li>University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign</li>
</ol>

<p>Feel free to suggest other schools that have a good power program. I'm leaning towards research and specialization in power electronics, but I'm also open to power systems and others related. For now, I'm just thinking of master's. I'm not yet sure if I want to continue to a PhD because I may want to be in industry after acquiring my master's.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>You should ask this in the Grad School Forum. Go to the main page where all of the forums are listed, and scroll down to find it.</p>

<p>Generally speaking, your own professors would be good people to ask for suggestions. Start there.</p>

<p>A&M has several good professors in power electronics: Dr. Enjeti for power electronics, Dr. Tolyat for inverters and motor drives, Dr. Ehsani for power electronics/ hybrid vehicles/motor drives, and Dr. Balog for power electronics.</p>

<p>Illinois has Dr. Krein for power electronics</p>

<p>University of Texas has Dr. Alexis .(can’t remember his last name, but look it up) for power electronics.</p>

<p>Texas Tech’s specialty is more pulsed power than power electronics but they do have power electronics.</p>

<p>Also take a look at Virginia Tech and University of Colorado - Boulder.</p>

<p>AND also Portland State has Dr. Tymerski who specializes in converter modeling.</p>

<p>What’s your interest in power electronics?</p>
