Focuses on development of energy harvesting and management strategies for aircrafts. Green card or citizenship is required. Contact the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering >>
Learn, Lead and Serve Fund Grants
Make a positive impact on the community while exploring engineering concepts. The School of Engineering Learn, Lead and Serve (LLS) Fund encourages students to perform domestic and international research while serving community organizations. Individual grants range from $1,000 to $2,000, and higher amounts are available for team projects. Applications are accepted each semester. For additional information contact Dr. Malcolm Daniels by phone, 937-229-3863, or e-mail.
Renewable and Clean Energy Research and Teaching Assistantships
The Renewable and Clean Energy program has a limited number of research and teaching assistantships available to students. The assistantships range from full tuition plus stipend to hourly wage. Approximately 50% of RCL students receive some type of assistantship. These assistantships are rarely awarded to students prior to enrollment. In most cases, students are offered research and teaching assistantships based on in-class performance and a demonstrated interest in a research topic. Currently, RCL students have research assistantships in geothermal energy, energy-efficient manufacturing, building energy informatics. Other students work in the energy field off campus. Currently, RCL students work with local HVAC design companies, energy engineering companies, Montgomery County and other private and public sector employers.
