North American Power Symposium set to make local appearance

September 27, 2006

Mississippi State University has been chosen as the site of the 2009 North American Power Symposium. The university was chosen due to campus-wide support of the program and direct support from the VP of Research Office, Dean’s Office and Electrical and Computer Engineering department.

The symposium will bring between 150-200 power engineering faculty and students from around the United States and the world to the MSU campus. This will give the ECE department a chance to show off the quality of education taught in the engineering college as well as the college’s research capacity.

MSU will host the 40th annual NAPS and will be the second SEC school to be chosen to host the symposium after Auburn University in 1990.
