Student Project Highlights

Sustainable Energy Initiative: To enter the renewable energy market, a company needs to determine which renewable energy resource is best suited for development in their state. I was the team leader, and my group created a presentation informing the company of the available options and recommending the best solution. The presentation included a summary of renewable energy options, available state resources for renewable energy development, potential barriers or tradeoffs, and an evaluation and recommendation of the best option based on the research. The presentation included a PowerPoint presentation with 20 slides and speaker notes.
