Students in the Offshore Wind Energy Engineering program receive world-class training in wind policy, technical applications, and project management to prepare them for jobs in global industry, academia, and the public sector.
I first wanted to be an engineer to help mitigate the effects of climate change in my country, the Dominican Republic. I know that what I do here in Massachusetts can impact the future of the Dominican Republic, and all island nations, by bringing new ideas to the global climate crisis.
In a sense we are pioneers, in that we are trying to develop a common language. Economists are thinking about the power grid based on cost, and power system engineers are looking at issues such as power loss. I want to be able to help bridge that communication gap.
