As communication systems and trends improve and evolve, student access to information has become easier than ever. Turbine Technologies' ongoing effort is to provide engineering students with the best educational tools available. They’ve created a Facebook page that provides a convenient connection to interesting engineering topics, and a platform to interact with other students around the world.
Some recent posts include:
· The Royal Military Academy of Belgium’s technical paper discussing liquid nitrogen injection into Turbine Technologies' small turbojet engine for unmanned aerial vehicle thrust augmentation
· A story discussing a new student software module that provides electronic models of real turbojet engine components that facilitate CFD/FEA studies
· An article regarding a brand new renewable engineering major at the University of Wisconsin, Platteville
Future posts will include:
· Internships and job opportunities
· University submitted technical papers specifically concerning themselves with the use of their energy conversion related laboratory products
· Stories of real-world engineering challenges. For example, an upcoming article discusses the ASME certification process of an educational power boiler, which operates in the super heat region
