Energy

The world needs energy that will go the distance. Who understands the importance of making wise choices with limited resources better than engineers? Efficiency and sustainability are in our DNA. We bring brilliant minds together to tackle today’s global energy and environmental challenges and inspire tomorrow’s engineers.
