Engineering the Future - Tufts Unique Perspective on
Design leadership and Alternative Energy -
Sept. 18, 2012 Alumni, parents and
friends of Tufts were invited to tour the
Wind Technology Testing Center in
Charlestown, Mass., the world's largest testing facility for wind
turbine blades. The tour was led by civil and environmental engineering
Professor of the Practice
Eric Hines, who
designed the WTTC, and Rahul Yarala, Executive Director of the facility. Opened in 2011,
the Wind Technology Testing Center is part of the Massachusetts
Clean Energy Center. It serves as a critical component in the wind
energy industry, speeding deployment of the next generation of wind
blades into the marketplace, attracting companies to design,
manufacture and test their blades in the United States and
catalyzing growth in the American wind turbine supply chain.
