High voltage electric grids are some of the world's most complex machines, whose present high levels of reliability have been achieved through careful planning. The purpose of this three day short course is to provide a comprehensive coverage of the processes used in doing this planning. The course philosophy is to provide a practical, hands-on approach to describing electric transmission grid planning, with abundant practical examples illustrating each stage in the process. Particular attention will be given to those studies driven by regulatory processes relevant to utilities in North America such as by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) or the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). Throughout the course concepts will be illustrated using common industrial planning tools including PowerWorld Simulator with some hands-on exercises. Collectively the three course instructors have decades of experience in doing electric power system planning, planning software tool development, and engineering education. 

The Public Service Mixer is a chance for students and public service organizations alike to expand their professional networks. This event allows non-profits, AmeriCorps organizations, and local, state, and federal government agencies to learn more about the talented pool of students that Texas A&M has to offer. Also, students will have the ability to learn more about these organizations and how to enter these industries. There will be a tabling aspect and an informal networking aspect.
