Educational efforts aimed at the business world and educational programs

Advanced level education in electrical engineering is in strong demand from the industry, as that competence is absolutely necessary for business climate change and for the electrification of society. The challenges in the energy system are growing as electricity production from unplanned sources increases sharply, transmission of electricity takes place over ever longer distances and the electrified society demands ever higher electricity consumption. The electrification of society, where the electrification of vehicles is an important part, also leads to challenges and the need for new skills. The purpose of this project is to create collaborations and find synergies between the two institutions of higher learning, University West and Uppsala University, as well as relevant industry partners regarding the definition of skills shortages and the development of educational materials for independent courses in electrical engineering, aimed at professionals. The courses will be offered as individual courses, course packages and complete master's education.
