Every year, Power Education Partnership (PEP) members are given the opportunity to host undergraduates from Washington State University. This weeklong visit during spring break is called the Power Practicum. Undergraduates are exposed to real-world engineering and learn from engineering teams about their career experiences.
Each site has a unique curriculum that reflects the type of companies involved at the site. Each day the students learn about a different aspect of the industry from the employees who work in that area. The employees become instructors for the day and expose students to their respective fields of expertise, the challenges they face, and teach students about the tools they use and the processes as they are happening.
