Cataloging the Future

Title: Wind Energy Fundamentals Lab

Code: WIND 1085

Instructor: John Liewer, Northeast Community College

Coursework: Taken alongside WIND 1080, which serves as an introduction to the basic principles of wind energy, its economic, environmental and political issues, the lab serves to teach safety skills to future technicians, including climbing and rescue techniques.

From the instructor: “Once they get out for their internships, (students) will refresh on a lot of this stuff,” Liewer said. “But this lets us get them up in a tower to start working right away.”
