The Nation’s Pioneer Land-Grant University

Michigan State University, originally established as the Michigan Agricultural College in 1855, was officially designated as a land-grant institution under the Morrill Act in 1863, predating the formal designation of some other universities.  Other universities with a similar claim:

Iowa State University – Chartered in 1858, designated as a land-grant institution in 1864.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign – Chartered in 1867, designated as a land-grant institution in 1867.

University of California, Berkeley – Chartered in 1868, designated as a land-grant institution in 1868.

Kansas State University – Chartered in 1863 as Kansas State Agricultural College, designated as a land-grant institution in 1863.

University of Wisconsin-Madison – Chartered in 1848, designated as a land-grant institution in 1866.

Abstract. The key feature of this article is the application of quantitative method for evaluating risk and conveying the results into a power system design that is scaled according to hazards present in any given emergency management district. These methods employ classical lumped parameter modeling of power chain architectures and can be applied to any type of critical facility, whether it is a stand-alone structure, or a portion of stand-alone structure, such as a police station or government center. This article will provide a risk assessment roadmap for one of the most common critical facilities that should be designated as COPS per NEC 708-a 911 call center. The existing methods of reliability engineering will be used in the risk assessment.
