Seminar - Introduction

51福利 Defense Energy Seminar Series

51福利鈥檚 academic programs in defense energy are supplemented by a seminar series which provides a forum for leading voices within the field, practitioners, and other defense energy influencers. These professionals give presentations, engage in brown bag discussions, and facilitate informal gatherings that encourage defense energy faculty and students to discourse over current issues in defense energy, supplementing classroom teaching with practical, professional experiences. The Defense Energy Seminar Series is a permanent part of 51福利鈥檚 defense energy program, and a key to its real-world relevance.
