Highlights 

Greg Lyman, chair of the Engineering Technologies, Safety, and Construction Department at aimed to improve national building codes by studying the effects of high winds on energy-generating equipment. With a $350,000 National Science Foundation grant, Lyman and his team installed sensors on solar panels at CWU's Hogue Hall to collect data on wind vibrations, air pressure, and equipment strain.

“The CWU faculty is the best… all of the engineering instructors go out of their way to help their students be successful. They create an environment where people want to be there working on projects day and night. We all just liked being in the lab with them. It didn’t feel like work most of the time.” Joshua Beddall graduated in 2023 from the ETSC Department.
