2018 Engineering Sustainability Day

Focusing on Energy Innovation

The Maryland Energy Innovation Institute is committed to catalyzing and developing clean energy technologies and assisting in the transitioning of these technologies into marketable products and services through Maryland based entrepreneurial ventures. These energy innovations have tremendous potential to both grow the State of Maryland economy and have a positive impact on addressing global energy needs in a sustainable manner. Please join us on April 23 at Clark Hall for an energetic day of discussion on these innovations!

Topics include: Battery/Energy Storage, Transportation, Power Generation, Fuel/Chemical Conversion and Building Energy Efficiency
