Thanks.

It is a six part course the company I founded offers as an introduction to the power industry, designed for new employees at utilities.  We give it in house to, for example, 60 new employees hired this year into the engineering department of a large utility.  Part 1 is basically Alternating Current 101 (a majority of new engineers hired by electric utilities have never had a single course in power!), another section covers the organization of the utility industry, who regulates and how, etc.  Other parts talk about how a utility works inside, different departments, etc.  I haven't taught this course in several years but its one of my favorites because its broad, the students are young and eager, and its fairly easy to teach.  

That sounds great.  I know most graduates don't know anything about the power industry nor telecommunications either.  We had some basis of understanding when we graduated years ago.  I do get impressed with the enthusiasm younger engineers have.  Soon they are able to run circles around me.
