Power Engineers must have a bachelor’s degree, typically in electrical engineering, but some academic programs even include a concentration in power engineering. Seeking degree programs that include practical experience, whether through co-op opportunities or internships, can go a long way in your future job search, as many positions require one to four years of hands-on experience. Graduates should then consider pursuing their Engineer in Training (EIT) certification, which is the first step toward professional licensure. While gaining relevant experience, it may also be beneficial to become familiar with your region's power regulations and codes. Basic computer proficiency with engineering software tools is also a plus. Consider a master’s degree and Professional Engineer (PE) licensure to buffer your job search further.
