society (Pes) scholarship
Plus Initiative recognizes
highly qualified electrical engineering undergraduate students with
multiyear scholarships and assists in
connecting them with relevant and
meaningful career experiences. the
goal of the program is to increase the
number of well-qualified, entry-level
engineers in the power and energy
industry. since the program launched
in 2011, 835 students have received
1,382 scholarships from 191 universities. the program has had a positive
impact within the field, with more
students becoming involved in the
power industry.
Carlton Anumnu recently graduated from the University of texas (Ut),
Austin, with a B.s. degree in electrical
engineering. he was also an All-American sprinter on Ut's track and field
team. he is now working as a facilities
electrical engineer specializing in

power systems. what he likes most
about the power engineering field is
the feeling he gets from performing
meaningful work. Power engineering
is crucial in today's society, and the
country and the world need power
engineers to maintain a certain standard of living. Power is needed everywhere, from drilling for oil, to operating supermarkets and keeping
homes and businesses cool in the
summer and warm in the winter. we,

as power engineers, are needed in
almost every area of society, and we
help to deliver an important product
that this world cannot live without.
thus, he knows that the work he
does, even though small, plays a
meaningful role in our society.
Anumnu stated, "I love the versatility of the power engineering field. I
can work in many different industries throughout my career, if I choose
to. I can work in the oil and gas, utility, petrochemicals, or renewable energy industries, just to name a few. this
gives me a great sense of job security
and the assurance that I chose to
study the right field."

helping to address the problem of the
shortage of engineers in the power
