College Teams Compete On Wind Energy & Water Energy Tech — Winners Announced
The Endicott College team won awards for first place overall and the Case Study Contest in the inaugural Hydropower Collegiate Competition, which held its final event at Waterpower Week in Washington, D.C., in May 2023.Hydropower, marine energy, and wind energy are key to meeting the nation’s goals of a carbon-free electricity sector by 2035 and a net-zero-emissions economy by 2050.
Participating teams of undergraduate students and undergraduate and graduate students design, build, and test prototype devices; create business and project development plans; and conduct outreach with their communities and industries. Through their participation, students gain experience and professional connections that will help them land jobs in water, wind, and renewable power.
In addition, participating colleges and universities can integrate these competitions into their curricula as senior capstone projects and other classes. Kansas State University won first place overall and awards in the Turbine Testing Contest and the Connection Creation Contest in the 10th annual Collegiate Wind Competition, which held its 2023 final event in Boulder, Colorado, in May.As the three competitions came to a close, NREL caught up with two competition alumni to learn about their post-competition professional paths and how they are applying lessons learned from their respective competitions to careers in renewable energy.
