Research Centers
The department has two centers for research and education:
- Center for
Environmental Technology (CET)
The Center for Environmental Technology develops innovative observing systems for environmental applications. These advanced environmental sensors are used by governments, industry, and academia. CET provides expertise for the development of new in situ and remote sensing concepts and systems through cross-linkages with faculty across the CU campus and collaborators within the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Science (CIRES) and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). CET also provides a critically needed training ground for the next generation of environmental sensor engineers and observational scientists. - Colorado
Power Electronics Center (CoPEC)
Since it was founded in 1983, the power electronics group at the University of Colorado has maintained a tradition of innovative design-oriented and application-driven research. CoPEC activities now span the range of applications from high-efficiency milliwatt converters for portable battery-operated systems, to hundreds or thousands of watts for computer, aerospace, telecommunications, medical and automotive power conversion, to hundreds of kilowatts for wind generation systems.
Research Laboratories
The department's laboratory facilities are discussed on most of the pages for specific research groups. Go to the page for the area that interests you and scroll down to "Facilities."
