The Hydrogen and Fuel Cell University Research and Education Programs Database
is a comprehensive catalog of U.S. college and university
programs that offer courses and/or conduct research on hydrogen
and fuel cells. The database includes information about research
departments, programs, centers, and laboratories, as well
as information on courses offered, and individual staff or
faculty members.
The database was built using information from resources published
by schools, both in print and on the Web. Additional data
was compiled from a review of literature, including books,
textbooks, conference proceedings, handbooks, industry- and
research-related overviews, and government reports. In order
to validate and keep the information up-to-date, program directors
and researchers are encouraged to update and revise their
professional information and information about their programs. |
