EE department together with its 6 laboratories will move to the new engineering building in 2009. A brand new power distribution system will be installed in the power lab. The new power lab will be divided into 3 sub sections: General Power lab, Power Electronics Lab and Motor Drives Lab. Some lab improvement money will be available to support the power lab updating plan. However, we still need additional supports to reach our goal. Individuals or companies who are interested in supporting all or part of the power lab updating plan are greatly appreciated. The naming rights for individual benches, general power lab, power electronics lab and motor drives lab are open for discussion.
A new renewable energy lab will also be built in the new engineering building to support the future engineering minor in renewable energy. This new lab will be a great addition to the Power and Energy emphasis of our EE program.
