1 Reforming Electric Energy Systems Curriculum with Emphasis on Sustainability April 9-10, 2015 National Academy of Sciences Building, Washington, DC Funded by: NSF - Workshops on Reforming Graduate/Undergraduate Curriculum in Electric Energy Systems with Emphasis on Sustainability. To be held in 2015, 2016 and Co-sponsored by: National Academy of Engineering 1

2 Workshop Objectives: Discuss the Electric Power/Energy Systems Curriculum with emphasis on Sustainability Create a large and vibrant community of teaching/learning scholars Provide details of various project tasks in conjunction with ONR 6.1 Program Review (Program Officer: CAPT Lynn Petersen) 2

7 Crisis in Graduate Education We are simply not teaching the courses that we ought to be! Many courses are at the verge of disappearing. 7

8 Mission of CUSP To uphold the Critical National Infrastructure: Provide First-rate Education in Power and graduate Students in Large Numbers (Young generation cares about sustainability, environment and energy independence.) In order to do so, develop course content and provide all the resources that an instructor needs.. 8

9 Holistic View of Power Electricity Generation, Transmission and End-Use Transportation Defense Industrial Competitiveness Research and Development - All with an eye toward sustainability 9
