ELLT 1210 - Intro To The Power Industry (3 Credit Hours)

This course will study the history behind electrical utility industry. Students will study how the electrical system in the United States was established and how Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, Jr. influenced the development of electrical systems. Students will also learn how the electrical industry was first regulated and how regulation of the industry has changed as well as learning specific employability skills. Students will also gain knowledge of how the electrical industry is currently being "re-regulated" to encourage competition and gain knowledge of the system operations and marketing of electricity. Finally, this course will teach how the electrical industry is segmented into utility sectors, such as investor owned, Federal owned, publicly owned and cooperatively owned utilities.
