Daniel Kirschen, who is the Donald W. and Ruth Mary Close Professor in the UW Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, recently had the opportunity to take a group of UW ECE undergraduate students on a field trip to Cushman Hydro to learn more about the hydroelectric dam’s operations. Ozan Ferrin, Engineering Manager at Tacoma Power, led the group on a tour.
“This visit helped the students get a better understanding of the material we covered in class. It was also a great opportunity for them to learn about what utility engineers do.” — UW ECE Professor Daniel Kirschen
The trip was sponsored by Tacoma Power and UW’s Electric Energy Industry Consortium.
