Leveling Courses
We understand and appreciate that you likely have a great deal of experience; however, we have found that to ensure you have a solid foundation in fundamental electrical and civil engineering concepts we strongly recommended that you consider taking additional leveling courses prior to taking our master’s courses.
These courses are not part of your curriculum and the credits do not apply to the  credits required to earn the master’s degree.
TADP 500 Foundations of Power Systems
Designed for students who do not hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. This course will provide a comprehensive review of essential materials associated with generation, transmission, and distribution systems; foundations of electrical circuits as applied to power systems; and modeling/analysis of power systems.
TADP 501 Essential Foundations of Transmission Line Components
Designed for students who do not hold a B.S. in Civil Engineering. This course will provide all the essential foundational materials associated with the basic processes for designing an overhead transmission line.
