TOP SKILLS FOR POWER ENGINEERING GRADUATES/STUDENTS

( BOTH FRESHER AND EXPERIENCED )

POWER ENGINEERING

It is one of the oldest branches of engineering.For power engineering graduates there are two opportunities in both private and public organizations etc..,.

WHAT IS POWER ENGINEERING?

Power engineering is a subfield of electrical engineering and mechanical engineering which deals with the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power. This branch of engineering is related to th6e supply of power and manufacture. It deals with types of power productions such as hydropower, thermal power, solar power, etc. This course gives in-depth knowledge in the design, control, and testing of power equipment.

WHAT  CAN YOU DO WITH POWER ENGINEERING DEGREE?

They can do what is required to regulate, repair power engineers start up, and shut down equipment. They repair and maintenance work to replace the defective parts such as motors, bearings, gaskets, pumps, valves etc. They work in a wide variety of industrial and commercial facilities. Power engineers make sure that equipment is operating safely and efficiently within the limits. They act as safety inspectors to check on conditions at working power plants.
