The health of any engineering industry is gauged in part by an assessment of its personnel needs and supply as well as the qualifications of the engineers involved. This assessment should be done not onily in the short term (i.e., next 3-5 years), but also in the long term. This paper is a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the personnel needs and supply in the electric power industry. Problems related to personnel quality and, perhaps, long term supply have been identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
