In October 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative hosted a peer review to discuss and evaluate the progress of the GEARED program.

For the fourth summer, 35 graduate and undergraduate engineering students from FEEDER’s consortium of 12 universities experienced first-hand how power engineering goes from classroom to real-world. This year’s summer workshop was the largest since the program began in 2014. FEEDER stands for Foundations for Engineering Education for Distributed Energy Resources.

An innovative curriculum sharing model from the GEARED Initiative’s FEEDER consortium (Foundations for Energy Engineering for Distributed Energy Resources) is launching today’s power systems engineering students and faculty into completely new learning frontiers.
