WEST LAFAYETTE – Purdue University is developing a program in energy storage technology in cooperation with the Naval Surface Warfare Center based in Crane, Ind.
The effort could eventually lead to a master’s degree in chemical engineering and help in the development of electrical vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, solar cells, wind turbines and diesel and biodiesel generators.
“This new program will train leaders in a technology that is becoming increasingly important in our modern world,” said Victor Lechtenberg, interim associate vice president for engagement at Purdue. “That the first students are from NSWC Crane means this training will be in the hands of people able to develop the technology quickly and for the benefit of our country.”
