IAC Forum

Alumni Gallery

Since its inception in 1977, over 2,000 engineering students have participated in the IAC/EADC program, representing over 40 colleges and universities across the U.S. Approximately half of our IAC/EADC graduates move on to pursue careers related to energy or energy efficiency.  These graduates are well-known for their expertise in industrial energy efficiency and are in high-demand in the energy-related job market. Many of our graduates stay in touch with their centers and with IAC/EADC program management. Letters, success stories and official DOE-published case studies from our alumni are listed below.

If you are an  IAC/EADC member or alumni and would like to share your professional experiences with your peers, please contact Michaela Martin, the IAC Student Activities Coordinator at martinma@ornl.gov, or her assistant, Susie Allen at allensc@ornl.gov
