The University of New Hampshire has established a new Energy
Laboratory in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences.
The first act of the Energy Lab will be to present an important
Energy Conference to bring together engineers, researchers,
scientists, industry leaders, public policy makers,
environmentalists, legal experts, contractors and concerned
citizens and students to discuss, develop, and implement
renewable and sustainable energy technologies and policies.
The overall goal of the new Energy Laboratory is to accelerate
the development and implementation of alternative energy
technologies/policies through:
1.
Education. UNH will offer new introductory discovery
courses, minors, degree programs, and advanced graduate courses
and programs in sustainable/renewable energy. This will include
engineering, business, environmental, and public policy classes
and other interdisciplinary classes. The new courses will
compliment existing energy courses in the university.
2.
Research. UNH will facilitate collaboration between
academic and private sectors through student
internships, consulting, and proposal generation leading to
research in the alternative energy fields. Research activities
will include:
·
developing and evaluating new energy
technologies
·
study of environmental impacts
·
financing issues
·
grid dynamics and security
·
public policy and legal concerns.
3)
Public Awareness. UNH can provide a local public forum
where engineers, scientists, public policy makers,
environmentalists, industry leaders, legal experts, contractors
and concerned citizens can work together to help develop and
implement renewable technologies regionally and to provide
expertise to improve energy sustainability in New England. |
