EPIC

The University’s Energy Production and Infrastructure Center is a partner on a $620,000 federal grant to develop a molecule inverter that mounts on solar panels.
EPIC will work with clean-energy startup SineWatts, according to an article in the Charlotte Business Journal.
SineWatts will open an office in Charlotte. It is likely to be a tenant UNC Charlotte Portal Building when the facility opens in early 2014.

The Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC) and Siemens have awarded the fall 2012 Siemens Energy Scholarships to three undergraduates and one graduate student in the William States Lee College of Engineering.
The prestigious $15,000 undergraduate scholarships were presented to electrical engineering major Walter Bomela and mechanical engineering majors Brendon Almond and Stephen  O’Brien. The $30,000 graduate scholarship went to Jason Anderson, a doctoral student in electrical engineering.
