Cape Fear Community College

Engineering Technology Department

The Engineering Technology Department at CFCC is pursuing Alternative Energy projects including wind and solar power. A wind study has been implemented at the North Campus in order to confirm the most effective wind turbine installation. We were able to install a anemometer on a 45' tall pole designed to collect wind speed data so we can determine/confirm the effective height/placement of our tower. In addition, a solar power (PV) array study will be underway soon.

Joe Stokes, EET lead Instructor at CFCC and Jason Epstein, from Outer Ring Energy and Shawn M. Russell, Engineering Technology Department Chair, make up this exciting and knowledgeable team.
