Teaching Deregulation (panel)
Tuesday, 23 July, 2:00 PM–5:00 PM Crystal Room
Sponsored by: Power Engineering Education Committee
Chair: L. Bohmann, Michigan Technological University
How has the role of power engineering education changed now that many of
the world's electricity markets are opening up to competition? This panel
session was organized to address this question. Four perspectives will be
presented, two from Europe, two from the United States; two from academia,
two from grid operator organizations. The presentations will discuss the change
needed in university education due to the changing regulations, the role
of market operators in this education, and how two universities have risen
to this challenge.
