As Ron said
"Most EE schools are set up for electronics, not power..." I had started to pursue an electrical engineering degree in 1980 and got 30 hours of general studies. Travelling and having fun at my work distracted me from finishing then. After 25 years in the trade I began to seriously consider finishing my degree. I could find no college in the Dallas, Tx area (including Tx A&M) that did not require you to spend a lot of time on electronics and computer courses. These schools did not have much related to power. I was told by a counselor at University of Texas at Arlington (a highly rated engineering college) that my work experience or any practical training would not qualify me for any credits or bypass. Most engineers I have dealt with did not really understand the practical aspects of Code application and were not fully able to interpret the requirements.
