When you're working on a remote construction site in the blazing summer heat or the dead of winter, access to electricity isn’t just convenient—it’s essential. But what happens when you're miles from the nearest power grid? This is a reality for many professionals, and can greatly hinder efficiency, when they are unable to power their tools, complete paperwork, or have a climate controlled space for extreme weather.

Congratulations to Sam Craven, an Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate student, for taking first place in the BYU 3 Minute Thesis competition! After winning both the Department and College-level competitions, Craven claimed the top prize at the University level.
