About this episode

A secure and sustainable energy supply for the future depends upon communities and industries working together. To facilitate this, a skilled STEM workforce is needed. To that end, Dr Pankaj Sharma a courtesy professor at Purdue University and his colleagues have piloted the ‘Duke Energy Academy at Purdue’, or ‘DEAP’ – an immersive one-week program which aims to promote student interest in the energy sciences and engineering.
