Fluid Power Lab Program

The NFPA Education and Technology Foundation has initiated its new Fluid Power Laboratory Program to establish a state-of-the-art training lab at a qualifying educational institution. In 2012, the Foundation will award one grant to help establish a training lab at a qualifying school. Hundreds of budding engineers will use the lab to study fluid power with the eventual goal of working in the fluid power industry after they graduate.

Grant applications will be judged in a number of areas—student involvement, what new projects are initiated and the lab’s multiplier effect to create other relevant projects and curricula.

Open to NFPA Educator Members in the U.S. only. If your school is not a member of NFPA, you will need to apply for Educator Membership and submit a $50 application fee before your grant application will be reviewed.
