Industrial Assessment Center Program. Final Progress Report
In the past five years, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) has established a high reputation in Wisconsin through the dedicated, continuous, and extraordinary efforts made by the WM IAC team. Our center has developed a broad range of partners in Wisconsin to promote and support our IAC program. We have established a partnership with We Energies, the primary utility company in Wisconsin, to provide high-quality energy assessments for their customers. We also acquired comprehensive support from Focus on Energy, the state energy agency, to promote the IAC among their state-wide networks. We have partnered with Wisconsin State Government agencies, the Office of Energy Innovation, and the Office of Sustainability and Clean Energy. We have been working on our best to make UWM IAC an outstanding program in Wisconsin. WM-IAC attracted the US Administration, and US Vice President, Kamala Harris, visited UWM IAC in May 2021 and conducted a Round Table discussion. In addition, in March 2021, one of the WM IAC student members was invited to the Round Table on supporting America's Manufacturing, and Industrial Workers arranged by the US Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, on March 8, 2021.
