Manny Quijada, a graduate of Arizona State University's Solar Energy Engineering and Commercialization program, started Western Texas College's own Solar Energy Technology program a year ago. Now a solar energy curriculum specialist, Quijada is sharing his expertise and teaching the future generations of solar technicians, researchers, and business owners.
"I’m thrilled to be in a position where I can motivate others to learn about solar energy technology and to envision a future for this power source that can help nations and governments secure a sustainable environment," he says.
Since 2011, ASU's solar energy program has graduated 27 students who are equipped with the engineering, policy, economic, and technology sides of solar energy.
