Helen Lewis-Rzeszutek, Master of Science in Electrical & Computer Engineering: Power EngineeringUW–Madison’s online power engineering: electrical engineering program allowed me to work full time while gaining the additional academic skills necessary to advance in the field of power engineering. I was promoted to the next level of engineer the spring before my graduation, and I don’t think that would have happened without this program.
