About CURENT Education Program
The Center for Ultra-wide-area Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Networks (CURENT) is an Engineering Research Center headquartered at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE). The education division has goals of promoting engineering at all levels. Our goals are threefold – increase elementary and middle school students interest in engineering, encourage high school students’ interest in electrical engineering and undergraduate research, and support K-12 teachers’ engineering content and practice knowledge.
