NSF Engineering Research Center
• NSF Engineering Research Centers promote
partnerships among researchers in different disciplines
and between industry and universities.
– They focus on integrated engineered systems and produce
technological innovations that strengthen the competitive
position of industry.
– Their graduates are well-rounded, professionally oriented
engineers with a global outlook, experience in technological
innovation, and the ability to assume leadership roles in industry,
academe, and government.
• Funded at $18.5 million for five years. Renewable up to
ten years
• FREEDM is the only ERC in power and energy
engineering
