The University of Nevada, Reno has been a leader in education as well, hosting the National Geothermal Academy, a consortium of top geothermal universities around the country, last summer. The consortium selected our university because of its proximity to drilling sites, power plants and heat sources, as well as for its leadership in multidisciplinary research that has led to discovering new technologies for exploration, production and development of geothermal resources.
The academy, entering in its second year, will educate and train the next generation of scientists, engineers and policymakers. Curriculum is designed to cover all aspects of geothermal energy development and utilization and is offered for either undergraduate or graduate credit, as well as professional development for the energy industry. Schedule for this summer is June 18 to August 10, 2012.
