"Being an entrepreneur, in my mind, is not necessarily starting your own company. It’s how you approach a project or a problem." - Ronnie K. Irani
It is the vision of Ronnie Irani to advance students' careers by merging entrepreneurial problem solving skills with technical expertise in energy-related fields.
Alumni of I-CES will think and act like people who run energy enterprises. They will not just find jobs - they will help create jobs.
The newly renovated Irani Center for Energy Solutions headquarters is on the 14th floor of Sarkeys Energy Center. It was designed to look and feel like an office space. Student teams have a dedicated space, access to industry-standard equipment like plotter printers and use of the Center's conference room.
Student teams have analyzed more than 400 wells in Oklahoma and surrounding states and their work has garnered attention from The Norman Transcript and The Oklahoman.
