Summer Education Accelerator (SEA)

ARROW-SEA, the Summer Education Accelerator will convene faculty, lab staff, students and guest instructors from industry, government and other stakeholders for an annual intensive course of study. ARROW-SEA will provide multiple tracks and funding for participants to ensure a diverse group of scholars and full participation. Aligned with industry and societal needs, topics will include: reliability and uncertainty quantification; atmospheric and CFD modeling; blades, structures and geotechnics; marine ecology; human ecology; energy equity; structural health monitoring and control for resilience; transmission, grids and markets; supply chain; energy equity and justice; technology translation in wind energy; wind energy standards; and more. SEA will also conduct field trips to the Block Island and Vineyard 1 farms, the Wind Technology Testing Center and the New Bedford terminal. A key feature of SEA will be a career fair for student-industry matching. Tentative schedule coming soon.
