Labs
Climate Crisis: Implementing Solutions Lab
12 experiments Hardware
A twelve-experiment laboratory introducing DC electricity, greenhouse-gas effects, solar and wind generation, battery storage, efficient lighting, motors, renewable-energy economics, and indoor hydroponic farming through simulation, calculation, and hands-on measurement.
Workshops
Remotely Accessible Hardware Labs for Education and Research in Power Electronics, Power Systems, and Electric Drives
This virtual workshop presented compact, safe-voltage, remotely accessible laboratories developed for education and research in electric drives, power electronics, and power systems. Sessions connected the laboratory platforms to CUSP courses and demonstrated undergraduate, graduate, and pipeline-level experiments using Sciamble Workbench.
Crisis in Power Engineering Education: A National Security Concern
This two-day NSF–NAE workshop convened leaders from government, academia, industry, K–12 education, and community and technical colleges to address the national shortage of power-engineering talent. Participants examined multiple pathways into the field, rewarding careers across the power sector, and freely available CUSP courses and laboratories for workforce development.
