Opportunities for Students
A collateral objective of the Industrial Assessment Center program is to train and educate
energy engineers of the future. At eny time, our center employs 1-2 graduate students and 4-8
undergraduate students.
Students work closely with faculty on teams making assessment visits to selected manufacturers
in our state. Each client receives a detailed report justifying recommendations on the basis
of a simple payback economic analysis.
Students are deeply involved in these plant assessments, recommendations, and reports.
