UNC Charlotte EPIC

We wanted to take a moment and just say "CONGRATULATIONS!" to all of the #CLTEngineering Energy Concentration graduates on this special day. We can't wait to see how each of you will #ForgeTheFuture of the power and energy industry and beyond!

It's rewarding to balance the technical with the creative! We took our KIT exchange students from Germany on a break to explore Charlotte. They cracked King Tut's Curse at an escape room and visited the NASCAR Hall of Fame—just a taste of what the city offers!

Excited to see two 2024 Collegiate Wind Competition students, Melissa and Cody, shine at IPF 2024 in New Orleans! They presented their "Hybrid Offshore Wind Farm on Lake Michigan" project to global leaders in offshore wind energy. Congrats on the achievement! ⭐️

Our student researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have landed here at EPIC and we're excited to welcome them to the team! Over the next several months, they will be working on a wide variety of power and energy focused projects. #CLTEPIC #CLTEngineering

It's always great to have our #EPICaffiliates drop in to talk with our students about the exciting technologies and career opportunities within the power and energy industry. A special thanks to @EPRI for sparking up some insightful conversation during our recent lunch and learn!

EPIC is so proud to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Marion Cantor for becoming this year's SHRA Employee of the Year! Please join us in congratulating Marion on this great achievement!

Attention UNC Charlotte Innovators! The EPIC Innovator Competition is your stage to showcase groundbreaking ideas in energy. Win up to $1,000 and get unparalleled access to mentorship and networking opportunities with industry leaders. Email jruchser@charlotte.edu to sign up.

It's always great to see what our students are up to in EPIC's Highbay! Our ASCE student chapter's steel bridge competition team has completed the fabrication of their design. A great opportunity to apply classroom knowledge through a practical hands-on project.

Proudly held the NC TOWERS meeting on offshore wind's impact on jobs & development. Featured a look at CLEANcarolinas & a panel of industry voices.

Honored to host the NC Dept. of Commerce & NC Towers Task Force at Discovery Place for an event on NC's offshore wind potential. Secretary of Commerce, Machelle Baker Sanders, highlighted OSW's economic benefits & Governor Cooper's commitment to job creation & wind energy.

EPIC, UNC Charlotte College of Engineering, NC Department of Commerce & NC Towers hosted an Off Shore Wind career info session for Charlotte Early College HS. With the CLEANcarolinas project team, students engaged with OSW experts, explored career paths & built mini turbines.

Great hosting Siemens Industry at EPIC for a lunch & learn! Students explored how their academics link with real-world opportunities at Siemens Industry and learned about their focus on employee benefits. Thanks for inspiring our future engineers! #CLTEPIC #CLTEngineering

As our Energy Concentration students graduate this weekend, we simply want to say “CONGRATULATIONS!” We are proud of you, and we look forward to seeing how each one of you will help build the energy grid of tomorrow! #CLTEPIC #ForgeTheFuture

From projects in clean energy to advanced research in alternative sensor technologies with wireless capabilities, the energy industry was WELL-REPRESENTED at last week's Senior Design Expo. And to top it off, the winning presentation for Senior Design 1 was an energy project!

On Monday, we were honored to host a pre-conference reception for #WiPDA2023 that included poster exhibitions from our OUTSTANDING #CLTEPIC and #CLTEngineering researchers and students, as well as tours of our world-class research and development facilities. #EnergyEngineering

The #CLTEPIC Special Projects Team is well known for turning theory into reality, but they also excel at building the next generation of researchers and engineers by incorporating undergraduate and graduate students into the process. #RealWorldReady

On the first #CLTEPICAffiliate Friday of December, take 5 minutes to see how @Framatome_ is literally taking clean energy to the stars with the launch of Framatome Space! zurl.co/D3R8 #EnergyEngineering

“I get to learn something new every day.” That’s what Micaela Coco De Marco, Foothills Regional Line Engineer for #CLTEPICAffiliate EnergyUnited & UNC Charlotte College of Engineering Electrical graduate (’21), said she likes most about her job.

Another amazing fall semester is almost at an end. We hope that all of you enjoy the holiday break, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday to finish the semester! #CLTEPIC #EnergyEducation #EnergyEngineering

On this #CLTEPICAffiliate Friday, take 5 minutes and read what Holger Peller, COO of @PWREngineers , had to say about the role of energy grids in clean energy and how POWER is leading the way in this crucial modernization effort. zurl.co/9wx0 #EnergyEngineering
