That's a wrap on ESP 2024! Congratulations to all of our students for completing this rigorous program! We are so excited to see where you all go next - we're sure it will be amazing!

Thank you to all of the hard work by our staff members which made this program possible!

Stay tuned for photos of our closing ceremony - coming soon!

Our second industry tour took us to RenewAire in Waunakee, WI. Students investigated renewable energy with windmill kits, competing with each other to design a windmill that could generate the most energy. We toured their manufacturing facilities, where they develop, test, and build HVAC systems. Students visited the labs where engineers test their products to ensure they are performing as expected. We ended the tour with a Q&A with some employees of RenewAire, where students learned about day-to-day life as an engineer and the roles specific engineering majors might have at their company.
