Hello, I am new to this forum and don't see anything about education in the FAQ so here it goes:
I am an electrical engineer and have been working in the RF/microwave field for about 6 years. A little of that was before I got my master's, most of it after.
At this point I would like to switch to working in the wind power industry and am trying to figure out the best way to do that. Staying on the engineering/technical side may not even be the best way to do that, I don't know.
But to keep the questions focused - If I need to go back to school, which universities are recommended for getting a master's in power that also focuses on renewable energy sources?
Can power engineers find work directly with wind power companies? Or does the power engineer work for a company that has the wind power company as a customer and so finds it being only part of his job?
If you have any other comments that you think might help, I would greatly appreciate them.
Thanks,
Matt
