EECS 463 Power Systems Design and OperationWinter 2014

Course Syllabus

Summary: Modern society is highly dependent upon reliable, economicelectricity supply. This course will provide students with theknowledge and skills required to analyze and design powersystems. It will develop models and tools for investigating systembehavior, and provide opportunities for using those tools in design

processes.

Prereqs: Physics 240 (General Physics II) or 260 (Honors Physics II), EECS215 (Circuits), EECS (Signals & Systems) 216 or GraduateStanding; Other useful skills include differential equations, matrixalgebra, and computer programming

Instructor: Prof. Johanna Mathieu4231 EECS Building
