The last time I was at UNH was for tank testing during the pandemic, so it was nice to see a more lively campus this time.  As expected the Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC) and Pacific Ocean Energy Trust (POET) were excellent hosts for the event.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before making our way to UNH, Nils and I stopped in Boston for a tour of PTC arranged by Philip Bard.  Philip graduated from the Applied Energy and Electromechanical Engineering program several years back and has been creating awesome demos that show the interoperability of PTC products that are used across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul
