Research
Research at the WCGEC focuses on seven major areas. Those areas focusing primarily on energy storage and generation are housed mostly at the Bourns College of Engineering campus location.
Meanwhile, the implementation of these technologies is researched at CE-CERT, which is located at our research center off campus at the Bourns, Inc. headquarters site.
