A team from Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories turned out to cut the ribbon on the newly completed SEL Power-Systems Labs at Montana Technological University on Wednesday.

The labs, funded by a $1.5 million cash donation from SEL, will give Tech’s electrical engineering students a place to hone their skills in power-system protection, energy conversion, and power plant systems.

The timing couldn’t be better, said Dr. Dan Trudnowski, dean of the School of Mines and Engineering at Tech.

“Our graduates, they’re mostly Montana kids, and they work hard, man. And SEL loves that work ethic,” Trudnowski said.
