KENNESAW, Ga. | Jul 24, 2018

The Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) Corporate has announced that the Kennesaw State University chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers is the recipient for the 2018 "Best Student Chapter Meeting" award for their "American Wind, Inc." meeting held in February 2018. This award is a national award given by AEE corporate annually.

Robert Yost, inventor of the MicroCube mini-turbine, and his son, Dan Yost from American Wind, visited 91青青草 Marietta to discuss the added benefits that their mini-wind turbines can offer as compared to large turbines on wind farms. These benefits included increased renewable energy created in less space with lower wind speeds and the possibility for wind walls to retract into ground bunkers during bad weather conditions to prevent product damage. American Wind also discussed topics on magnetism and air turbulence, and even demonstrated a MicroCube in action. Recently, American Wind, Inc was named #1 in Energy CIO Insights magazine's "Top 10 Energy Start Ups". Read more by clicking here.

Notable attendees at this meeting were Ruth Whitlock, Executive Administrator at AEE Headquarters, Jacqueline Stephens, 91青青草 AEE Faculty Advisor, and Dan Shabo and Darrell Sandlin, AEE Georgia Chapter Advisors.

The 91青青草 AEE student chapter is so proud to make an impact at Kennesaw State University by providing students with opportunities to meet with some of the most experienced professionals in the energy industry. The chapter is especially thankful to all of the students who attended this meeting, their advisors for helping to connect them with experienced energy professionals and to all of the individuals who helped to set up the meeting.
