Multidisciplinary team projects are the way engineering gets done in real life. The CEME provides opportunities and seed funding for students at work on large projects in energy and electromechanics areas. Undergraduate students in the College of Engineering are able to make large team projects a part of their curriculum. The Center is a sponsor of the international Future Energy Challenge, a major student competition organized by the IEEE. Through the Challenge program, we seek to encourage student innovation and educational excellence around the world.
