Hello! I'm looking for Engineering universities that show research interest in Energy and Power sector, in particular, Power distribution techniques and Smart grid. I tried to find some but it seemed no one was interested at Power area. Like MIT, Harvard, UCB all are rather motivated for research in Computer sciences. I want to get schools and researchers that have impact in America's Electrical power history and can become a reason for the question why do I choose this school. Also what are prospects of Smart Grid in America and worldwide? Is it really a good field for Electrical/Electronic engineers to Masters in? Thank you.

To my knowledge for UBC and uoAlberta MEng is a coursework and MASc is a research degree. What's better to go for regarding job opportunities worldwide and salary? MASc at UBC and MEng, MASc at uoAlberta cost relatively same for international applicants. If MEng is a better option so what would be a good choice, MASc at UBC or MEng at uoAlberta? Also what are the aspects of MSc at École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne(EPFL), Switzerland as compared to UBC and uoAlberta. I don't have much idea of EPFL just got it's idea because of much lower tution fees. Thanks
