Educational Solar Array (MESA) project director Bryan Quinn was awarded a $12,500 UMD
Sustainability Fund grant for his proposed Sustainable Energy Teaching Initiatives Lab to develop
wind-based power generation. The grant will allow Quinn to add two vertical-axis wind turbines
to the existing MESA lab. The facility’s goal is to provide students with hands-on experience
in the design and use of alternative energy generation and utilization.
