Trine University seniors work on building a solar panel for Haiti.

Dunn from Doylestown, Ohio, and Chris Laudenschlager of Walton, Indiana, work with
solar panels in the Foundry Lab in the university’s Jim and Joan Bock Center for Innovation
and Biomedical Engineering. The three are designing a mount and control system that
will be used by Haitian Christian Outreach on its hospital in Peredo, Haiti. Working through the Campus Christian House at the university, the team will travel with six other Trine students and alumni
to Haiti from March 11-18 to develop and provide HCO with a manual to purchase, construct
and install solar panels on an expansion to the hospital. The group also will work
on the addition. Later this year, other volunteer groups will begin mounting 46 solar
panels in order to provide clean power to the HCO campus. (Photo by Dean Orewiler)
As we prepare to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) on June 23, it’s a great time to reflect on how far women have come in engineering fields as well as to assess opportunities for improvement.
Trine University is offering select prerequisite coursework at a reduced tuition rate of $150 per credit hour for students planning to apply to the Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program beginning January 2027.
