Vestas has entered into a long-term partnership with the College of Engineering. Vestas will begin providing funding support in 2009 that will grow to sponsor as many as 10 graduate and undergraduate students working on wind technology projects. The company also plans to provide visiting research fellows to campus and start a small research-and-development facility near the engineering campus that will focus on technology transfer. Another stage of the partnership will support named professorships or endowed chairs with expanded focus on wind-energy research and education. Vestas is committed to recruiting and retaining future talent for the wind-energy industry, so one named professorship will focus on developing new curriculum materials to support the emerging energy and sustainability fields.
Includes nine institutions, mostly technical colleges and community colleges, that provide renewable energy training courses.
