Electrical Power Engineering is a very classic branch of industry, yet it is also very important in today’s world. An electrical engineer must have a solid foundation in the basic disciplines of mathematics, physics and engineering, knowledge that is common to all branches of industrial engineering, and specific knowledge of electricity as well as up-to-date know-how of new technologies.
Professional Opportunities for an Electrical Power Engineering Graduate
The professional opportunities for an Electrical Power Engineering graduate are highly varied; some of these professional activities are the development of electrical projects, domotics, maintenance of electrical facilities, wind and solar power generation, etc.
Studying Electrical Power Engineering at Universidad Carlos III of Madrid
The study program for the Degree in Electrical Power Engineering is taught at Universidad Carlos III of Madrid is very up-to-date. Most of the professors of this degree program frequently work on projects with companies and on research projects. In particular, Universidad Carlos III of Madrid has certain renown in the world of wind power systems for the production of electrical energy. This contact with industry and the vanguard of research makes the subject content in the Electrical Engineering degree very practical and up-to-date.
According to the XIII study on professional placement of graduates from Universidad Carlos III of Madrid (referring to the graduating class of 2007), 100% of the Technical Industrial Engineering (Electricity) degree holders are very (66.7%) or quite (33.3%) satisfied with their degree.
