CAER CO-SPONSORED EVENTS
- Introduction to Renewable Energy (2010)
- The Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky (PEIK) offered its first short course, Introduction to Renewable Energy, provided an overview of renewable energy technology and outlines the basic principles of solar electricity, wind power electric generation, micro-hydro electric generation, and their application in Kentucky. PEIK brings together faculty from traditional engineering departments (Biosystems & Ag, Civil, Chemical, Electrical and Computer, Mechanical, and Mining) as well as from the Center for Applied Energy (CAER) and Center for Sustainable Manufacturing to create new labs, courses and update existing courses to help meet the need of power engineers in the utilities and manufacturing sectors. - Energizing Kentucky Conference (2009-2008)
- This conference was created in order to recognize the increasingly important role of energy in Kentucky, four colleges and universities (Berea College, Centre College, University of Kentucky, University of Louisville) have joined forces in an innovative partnership between the public and private institutions to stimulate the efforts of government, business and education leaders in creating a far-reaching and collaborative statewide energy policy.
