ATLANTA - Hoping to provide students a place where they can gain hands-on experience, an HVACR playground is being constructed at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) through a grant from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
Twenty-six grants, totaling approximately $110,000, have been awarded by ASHRAE to colleges and universities worldwide to promote the study and teaching of HVACR, encouraging undergraduate students to pursue related careers. The grants are used to design and construct projects.
