Pre-cursor to PhD
Since my MS wasn't in the power field, and I have absolutely no plans of spending six more years in grad school, Prof. KBP advised I take some graduate level power courses. I've been looking at a few Universities with good power courses and the non-degree option. Price is a big factor, but then again, I'm never going to be tight-fisted on educational stuff. Sadly enough, I can ask my company to pay for the courses if they're semiconductor related.
I think that 6-9hrs should be sufficient. I will also hope I can get letters of recommendation from the faculty
1. Georgia Tech - There's a power systems stability techniques already being offered this spring and a power systems planning and reliability course being offered in the summer. Each 3hr course costs $2500
2. Colorado-Boulder - They have a renewable energy course, also a bunch of power electronics courses. About $2100 for each 3hr course
3. Iowa State - 12 hrs, I like how they've spelled it out. $1300/3hrs ... $6200/6hrs :(
4. Arizona State - Quite a couple classes, well-refined online program, and at $3254/3hrs more expensive than all the others :(
