Dr. Pritchard was an amazing support and mentor at the FREEDM center. He has a great sense of humor and he's very personable. I worked with him for a little bit regarding battery installation strategies and he was very humble to listen to my opinion even though I didn't have much expertise in the area. He's an asset to the university and NC State should not let him go. Thank you!
I think Dr. Pritchard is exactly the type of faculty that NC State needs. He is passionate about renewable energy, passionate about teaching the next generation of leaders, and passionate about making NC State better. He never shies away from doing what he thinks is best even though it requires more effort. He does the right thing even when it’s the hard thing. He is far from perfect but I think the University made a mistake by letting him go. Bring Ewan Back!
In my conversations with Dr. Pritchard, specially about the SolarPack work and the work being done at FREEDM, I could tell that he was both passionate and dedicated to both. I also appreciate the mentoring he has done with my son, Bryon. It has helped shaped Bryon's vision for his future career.
SolarPack would not have been possible without Dr. Pritchard. He serves as a wonderful mentor and spends much more time with us than any other club adviser that I know. Not only has he helped SolarPack build a car, but he has helped each person on SolarPack grow as an individual. A SolarPack that Dr. Pritchard is not a part of is not one that I look forward to being a part of.
Dr. Pritchard has had a huge impact on my education. If it weren't for him I would have never decided I wanted to do graduate school or known that it was possible for a mechanical engineer to work in so many fields.
Dr. Pritchard and I have jointly led several Poole College of Management teams of students to apply data analytics to build a transactive energy pricing model. We also have jointly supported the SolarPack project. These experiences help me observe that Dr. Pritchard is an excellent mentor for a cross-functional team of students. • He supported me in designing course activities that allow for sharing of knowledge, expertise, and perspective synergistically to create new applications to integrate emerging innovative technologies. • Dr. Pritchard desires to direct students to develop hands-on, real-world experience in exploring advanced technologies to improve transportation energy efficiency, affordability, reliability, security, and customer satisfaction. • Dr. Pritchard support and design outreach programs to reach out to diversified groups of students, including those in high school, to the real world applications of the STEM disciplines as their future careers. He proactively recruits and mentors them to participate in his research projects including the SolarPack project. Dr. Pritchard is a consistent, tireless, enthusiastic advocate for diversity in engineering.
I believe Dr. Pritchard is an amazing instructor and he helped this team a great deal. Without him this team would not exist.

Dr. Pritchard was one of the best professors I've had during my time at NC State. I learned a tremendous amount of material in his automotive class. His passion for the material and care for his students made his class a unique experience; I've never been pushed so hard during a class yet more willing to achieve what is demanded.
