Rolls-Royce Invests in Future of Engineering
Rolls-Royce has donated a 501-K5A industrial gas turbine to The George Washington University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS). GW Engineering students will use the gas turbine to develop a finite element computer model and conduct analysis in jet engine failure preventions as well as a range of other topics. They will also use digitized data from the 501-K5 to help create a generic engine model. The engine will be housed at the University’s National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) in Ashburn, VA. It was formally unveiled at a ceremony yesterday. “ We view this donation as an investment in future engineers and in the future of engineering,” said Pat Marolda, President, Rolls-Royce Naval Marine and SEAS alumnus.
