Hi, my name is Marcos and I'm from Venezuela

I'm planning to go to the United States to study a specialization for my career as an Electrical Engineer.

I've always liked the idea of planning and design of power distribution for residential areas, houses, buildings, etc.

I've been researching, but due to our language differences, I can't find the right name for this specialization in English.

Can anyone of you tell me the name of this specialization in english? This way it is easier for me to research for Colleges or Universities.

Another thing, although I like a lot this specialization, I need to know if there is any demand at all for this one in the United States. Can you please give me any advice?

Thank you very much

Regards

Marcos

I think if you look for "Electrical Engineering" and "Power Systems" you will find appropriate programs. Quick googling got hits for a number of EE programs with this area of specialization. I do not know what sort of demand there is in this particular area of engineering. Look for information on Professional Society sites -- IEEE, etc.

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
