Gustavus Adolphus College gets $155K science grant

Gustavus Adolphus College recently received a three-year $155,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to improve the teaching of sustainable energy in its laboratories.

The college in St. Peter says the grant will help faculty develop laboratories dedicated to sustainable energy, including wind, biofuels and fuel cells. Some of the money will go to purchasing new equipment.

The grant is intended to improve the lessons for first-year and non-science students, science students in introductory and intermediate courses, and junior and senior level students majoring in the sciences.
