DESCRIPTION:Electric energy systems are undergoing profound changes as they
  become increasingly interdependent with other infrastructures. The change
 s originate from within (new key components\, such as inverters and storag
 e)\, from the expanding system boundaries (transportation)\, and strengthe
 ned connections with other societal infrastructures\, communications\, wat
 er\, and gas. The advent of new technologies related to renewable sources 
 and electronic loads has increased the number and variability of transient
 s. Recent events\, such as the 2025 blackout in Spain and Portugal\, under
 score the need for a deeper understanding of hybrid systems that combine t
 raditional (electromechanical) with new sources and loads (electronic). Th
 ese processes have implications for education\, which needs to combine dep
 th in the discipline with a broad understanding of rapidly evolving fields
 \, like AI and power semiconductors. The electric energy program at Santa 
 Clara has initiated a reexamination of its undergraduate and graduate offe
 rings with the aim of being responsive to industry needs while preparing s
 tudents for the rapidly evolving profession. This workshop offers an oppor
 tunity to network with SCU friends and affiliates\, as well as to collabor
 ate on outlining future directions in research and teaching related to ele
 ctric energy systems.\n\n·\n\n·\n\nCo-sponsored by: Santa Clara Universi
