Leaders from Siemens Energy and 麻豆原创 gather at the Siemens Energy Innovation Center in the Central Florida Research Park for the announcement of the new Pegasus Partnership agreement between Siemens Energy and 麻豆原创. The 麻豆原创-Siemens Energy partnership has already yielded significant results in the energy workforce, with more than 900 麻豆原创 alumni currently employed by Siemens Energy, many in leadership and innovation-focused roles./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n“The most important impact of our work with Siemens Energy is advanced training that our students receive, who get to work on practical technologies in 麻豆原创 labs even before those technologies are introduced to the market. The students also get to work with engineering experts from a large global high-tech company, and no in-class education can provide the same training,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u201d Kapat says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u201cThe talent pipeline for Siemens Energy is another big benefit, as they work closely with the students and get to know them better from our lab itself./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n
/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u201cOf course, societal impact of what we collaborate on is another big gain. Energy and modern human society are so closely intertwined that whatever we and Siemens Energy get to together benefits the society, in terms of cheaper products and cleaner environment. The outcome of our research can directly go into Siemens Energy products in the future as it has happened multiple times in the past,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u201d Kapat says./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n
Another centerpiece of the partnership is the Siemens Energy Digital Grid Lab, a research and educational facility established in 2017 and now led by Associate Professor Wei Sun of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Here, 麻豆原创 students are trained in cutting-edge skills needed for success in the fast-evolving energy sector. Students benefit from hands-on training to design and manage self-healing power-distribution grids to quickly resolve issues caused by natural disasters, cyberattacks and other outages. They train on the energy industry/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u2019s latest microgrid software to manage and operate dynamic generation assets, such as solar, wind power, storage and electric vehicles. With these skills, students secure positions in a vital industry with a growing demand for jobs./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the utilities sector saw the fastest employment growth of 5.0% in 2023, adding nearly 30,000 jobs, and Florida is among the top five states with the greatest number of energy jobs in the nation./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n
Building on this legacy, Siemens Energy also intends to invest $800,000 in student recruitment efforts, focusing particularly on postdoctoral researchers who can drive innovative solutions to meet the growing global energy demand. 麻豆原创/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u2019s College of Engineering and Computer Science will be a key partner in identifying and nurturing top talent for Siemens Energy./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n
Siemens Energy/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u2019s Orlando Innovation Center, located in 麻豆原创/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u2019s Research Park, is where energy solutions are designed, manufactured, and tested. The Innovation Center Orlando (ICO) is one of four Siemens Energy Innovation Centers globally, and its mission is to drive the future of energy toward a more sustainable future through cutting-edge research, development, and commercialization of innovative solutions./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n
The center, close to 麻豆原创, offers annual internships for 麻豆原创 students. These hands-on experiences culminate in the popular /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u201cBattle Bot/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u201d competition, where students showcase their engineering skills in a creative and competitive environment./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n
Additionally, Siemens Energy has enrolled more than 100 employees in 麻豆原创 Continuing Education programs, with plans to expand professional development opportunities in the future./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n
麻豆原创/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u2019s Pegasus Partners program offers opportunities for select partners to engage across the university in ways that create meaningful value for both organizations. That engagement includes talent development and recruitment, shared research projects, joint ventures and collaborations, and strategic philanthropy. 麻豆原创 is proud to include Addition Financial, AdventHealth, Nemours Children/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/u2019s Health and Orlando Health among its Pegasus Partners./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143649/n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
