FOUR NEW SPEAKERS WILL JOIN THIS WINTER SESSION! This 2-day offshore wind training bootcamp is for university students and engineers who are interested in starting a career in offshore wind industry to gain initial knowledge and understanding. The event aims to cover the general aspects of offshore wind farms. This bootcamp training will issue certificate of completion with 14 hours of PDH. Approximately this bootcamp is equivalent to a 1-credit course. If a participant passes the examination (multiple-choice questions) at the end of the bootcamp, this course can constitute towards a graduate certificate in the offshore wind education program under planning at NJIT. 

There are no pre-requisite course requirements. Participants are expected to have an educational background in college-level or advanced-placement level of engineering or physical sciences. The bootcamp aims to provide a short-term, rigorous, fast-paced, and focused fundamental training to help practicing engineers, researchers, and graduates to transition from traditional power engineering roles into the new field of offshore wind energy.
