| Why no power options at the school of electrical engineering since the late
1960s?
You can be sure that most new BSEE graduates don't know the difference
between a fault from a bus. Are home grown power engineers as rare as the
mainframe Fortran programers? So whose talking care of our buildings,
plants, transmission and distribution systems and such when our universities
don't provide power options?

Which universities are you refering to? We work with, and hire from,
several universities that still have power programs. Perhaps you could be a
little more specific.

California, the UC and state colleges - the only power options I know of is
from Sacramento State a number of years ago, don't know about now. So which
universities have power programs?

University of Illinois (Champaign/Urbana) did when I was there.

Clemson, Georgia Tech, VA Tech, WVU, UW (Madison I think), Rensselaer
Polytechnic, etc.

also UNL, Notre Dame, SDSMT.... maybe California got rid of them when they
decided to sell off all of their electric grid and buy from others...

Don't you mean "steal from us electric consumers and give it to some
other state..."?

Way, way before that. CA went hi tech right after the transistor was
invented. Power options (low tech, boring and not enough enrollment was what
I perceived then) were dropped around the late 60s. What was left were
semiconductor fabrication and circuit design, computer programming,
communication, control, etc. - most were more glamorous and higher pay. We
get our power guys from the right side of the USA (good to see we still have
them) or from foreign sources like India or England.

Probably it. The only 'EE' work in CA is in silicon valley, so that's what
they cater to ;-)
