I will introduce the Center for Gas Turbine Research, Education, and Outreach (GTREO). Gas turbine engines are one of the largest contributors to the U.S. electric power grid, and are the dominant means of aircraft propulsion. Did you know the temperatures inside some parts of a gas turbine engine are hotter than lava, and that we have two of them at University Park that can produce about 40% of our campus electricity? Come learn about how Penn State’s Center for Gas Turbine Research, Education, and Outreach (GTREO) supports this critical infrastructure machine and learn about opportunities to get involved with the center.
