Penn State Great Valley, founded in 1963 to provide graduate engineering programs to employees of local businesses, was housed in a rented school building in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and was known as the King of Prussia Graduate Center. In 1974, the center began offering courses off-site at area businesses.
This generated an influx of graduate students eager to learn the "new" physics, which in turn influenced the lab to concentrate more on basic research. [5] The early figure-8 stellarators included: Model-A, Model-B, Model-B2, Model-B3. [6] Model-B64 was a square with round corners, and Model-B65 had a racetrack configuration. [6]
LHU was founded in 1870 as the Central State Normal School. By 1927 it was known as the State Teachers College in Lock Haven and in 1960 the name was changed to Lock Haven State College. In 1983, the school joined the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and became known as Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania. The Clearfield campus ...
