Graduate students Joseph Koruth and Carlos Peña-Sanchez demonstrated the strength of UNT’s mechanical and energy engineering program at Vestas’ Winnovation Case Challenge 2012 held February in Denmark. Peña- Sanchez was part of the winning team and Koruth was a member of the runner-up team in the global competition, in which students prepare solutions to challenges in the wind energy industry.

UNT was one of only two universities with two students making it to the final round. Koruth and Peña-Sanchez expect to complete their master’s degrees in May and then are considering joining Vestas’ Graduate Programme.
