Hence theopportunity for alternative energy research and energy-credit business opportunities abound inMoldova. In addition, several of the faculty members at the TUM are experts in electricmachines, power engineering, and mechanical engineering1.

For these children, an outreach program can offerexposure to engineering skills such as analysis, development, building and testing through hands-on activities2.
