About the Course

This course familiarizes you with standards and policies of the electric utility industry, and provides you with basic vocabulary used in the business. It introduces the electric power system, from generation of the electricity all the way to the wall plug. You will learn about the segments of the system, and common components like power cables and transformers. This course is for individuals considering a career in the energy field (who have a high school diploma, at minimum, and basic knowledge of mathematics), and existing energy sector employees with less than three years of experience who have not completed similar training and would benefit from a course of foundational industry concepts. The course is a combination of online lectures, videos, readings and discussions. This is the first course in the Energy Production, Distribution & Safety specialization that explores various facets of the power sector, and features a culminating project involving creation of a roadmap to achieve a self-established, energy-related professional goal. To learn more about the specialization, check out a video overview at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yh9qIYiUDk....

What an Extraordinary Course, I really appreciate meeting with such a skilled professor and a tutor too.

Though his main focus was on the USA and quiz were mainly focusing on the USA not globally.

In week 3, Double-Busbar & Switching Sequence quiz showed me wrong answer for the 1st question even though it was correct. Other than that, the course is really helpful & educative

This course is mainly for those who dont have basics about how electricity is generated, transmitted and distributed. Overall the course was good and gave good basic knowledge.

the lessons were amazing, however the lecture presents in a monotone voice which after a while I loose focus. I suggest that you present in a more open and friendly meaner.

you need to remove data based question in your assignments and self check quizzes as they are based on memorisation not on conceptual understanding of a given topic .

Professor could explain it properly instead of reading and if the course is being offered World wide then it should cover countries other than USA too
