Announcement:
A dictionary dedicated to
electrical power, the first
on global scale, has just
been published. It is richly
illustrated with colored
graphics, images, tables,
etc. The dictionary is
titled
"ILLUSTRATED
DICTIONARY OF ELECTRICAL POWER ENGINEERING. Generation,
Transmission, Distribution." For details and preview see website http://
electricalpowerdictionary.com/
on Google.
Also for articles by the author see blog engineerthe-builder.com

are distributed through Pserc's
e-mail lists.
✔✔ The Pserc website listing of all
Pserc industry member career
websites. This listing is main tained specifically for students
wishing to learn more about
Pserc industry members and
their career opportunities.
✔✔ The PES Careers website. Pserc
configured and maintains the
platform for "Pes careers: U.s.
and canada," a free career service for students and employers
nationwide provided by the Pes.
Pserc has also been involved in
efforts by the Pes to promote power
engineering education and careers,
such as through studies and surveys of
power engineering university programs
and the creation of the scholarship
Plus Initiative to support undergraduate education.

Final Comments
Pserc's vision is that universities and
industry will collaborate to address the
research and education needs of the new
power industry. This vision challenges
both university researchers and industry members to work in ways that may
be new to them. researchers must collaborate across universities and across
disciplines. as a result, researchers have
to learn new ways of communicating
concepts and insights to colleagues in different disciplines, conducting research in
a collaborative organization, and using
techniques for collaboration at a distance.
a challenge for industry members is that
not only do they have to consider the research and education needs from their
company's perspective, but they also have
to factor into their decisions the needs of
the industry as a whole. researchers and
industry members both perceive that the
research and education needs are tremendous as the industry evolves, so they are
responding creatively and energetically
to the challenges they face in working together to address those needs.
Finally, university and industry members recognize that support of Pserc's
research program is intertwined with
support of its educational mission. stu-

dent education is enhanced through student participation in Pserc projects,
improved awareness of industry issues
due to Pserc activities, and the expanded industry knowledge that Pserc
faculty bring to their classrooms as a
result of the industry-university relationships Pserc fosters. Judging
from the current state of electric power
programs throughout the world, it has
accomplished its original intent to help
stem the decline in power programs is
the United states.

Acknowledgments
The creation and continuation of Pserc
would not be possible without the support of many dedicated people. In
particular, we thank the leaders who
helped start and continue Pserc: alex
schwartzkopf, Frank Wayno, Otto Doering, Dale holtzscher, luc audette,
steve DeMarco, Duane Torgerson, Dale
Bradshaw, Mike agee, hamid elahi,
Dale Krummen, Bill Muston, Jim crane,
Floyd Galvan, lisa Beard, eugene litvinov, Kip Morison, Mirrasoul Mousavi,
Doug Mclaughlin, Flora Flygt, and Jay
caspary. In addition, we thank all of the
faculty and students, the 13 university
administrations, and the nsF I/Ucrc
leadership and staff for enabling this collaboration. The 2016 site directors were
