Iowa State University has a long-standing international reputation for education and research in electric power engineering. The electrical and computer engineering department designed the twelve-credit graduate certificate for power engineering specialists in government, private sector, and academia.

Upon completion of the program, power engineering specialists will be proficient in theory and modeling plus have the tools necessary to perform engineering tasks related to planning and operating electric power generation, transmission, and distribution systems, plus knowledge of related public policy.

The certificate program was begun in 2002.

The Program of Study
Candidates for the program must have a baccalaureate degree in electrical engineering or a closely related field.
The graduate certificate is four courses, a total of twelve credits. Two courses, Steady State Analysis (E E 553) and Power Systems Dynamics (E E 554) are required. Select from the following courses to complete the certificate: Advanced Energy Distribution Systems (E E 555), Power Electronic Systems (E E 556), or Advanced Topics in Electrical Power System Engineering (E E 653). E E 653 may be taken and applied more than once to the certificate. It is possible to complete the certificate in two semesters.
