A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
The Renewable Energy program conducts an annual instructor-led study abroad program in Peru. Students design a solar-powered water pump that they then install on-site in Peru to help combat poor access to safe drinking water. In addition, this program participates in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC) which challenges interdisciplinary teams of undergraduate students from a variety of programs to offer a unique solution to a complex wind energy project, providing each student with real-world experience as they prepare to enter the wind industry workforce.
