ECU Center for Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Today, we had the opportunity to participate in Bridgestone’s Earth Day event and connect with the people who help drive manufacturing forward every day.

We enjoyed promoting pollution prevention awareness and sharing professional development opportunities available to help strengthen skills across North Carolina’s manufacturing sector.

East Carolina University Center for Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering (CSE3) truly values the relationships we continue building with industry and remains committed to helping manufacturers stay competitive while advancing environmental performance.

Two days, two powerful tools for sustainability.

We wrapped up back-to-back ISO trainings: 50001 on energy performance and 14001 on environmental management, right here in Greenville 🌱.

The Center remains committed to advancing pollution prevention and sustainability across North Carolina. This time, we brought these courses to support the local manufacturing sector and we’re grateful for the strong participation and great feedback from attendees.

We’re especially thankful for our partners who help make this impact possible 💚

Together, we’re building a stronger, greener future for NC.

Today, ECU CSE3 had the pleasure of participating in the Clean Energy High School Career Fair at the Center for Energy Education in Roanoke Rapids, NC!

We had a fantastic time engaging with bright high school students, sparking their curiosity about renewable energy and the future of our planet. It was inspiring to see so many young minds eager to learn about clean energy careers and sustainability.

Our team demonstrated exciting experiments showcasing how solar and hydrogen technologies can be used to generate clean power. It was a great opportunity to share knowledge, answer questions, and highlight the many pathways into the clean energy sector.

Events like this play a key role in building the next generation of clean energy professionals, and we’re proud to be part of it!

Thank you for inviting us!

Our Pollution Prevention Specialist is representing CSE3 this week at the Annual Conference in Charleston!

For CSE3, this conference is a great opportunity to connect with leaders in the environmental field and stay informed on critical topics like renewable energy, PFAS, site remediation, environmental policy and much more.

We look forward to bringing back insights that will strengthen our work in sustainability and pollution prevention across North Carolina.

Where’s CSE3 today, April 29?

We’re at the State Energy Conference of North Carolina—come visit us at Booth 13 at the McKimmon Center!
