E&C ENGR 463: Advanced Sustainable Energy Systems Engineering

Course Description

Sustainable Energy Systems Engineering focuses on understanding the theory and application of emerging energy technologies, including solar, wind, biomass, oceanic, geothermal, hydropower, fuel cell (hydrogen), nuclear, and other more exotic energy sources. A premise of the course is that a sustainable energy technology must both be technically feasible and economically viable. Renewable energy sources will be highlighted with a focus on projections for a sustainable energy future. Graduate students will be assigned an additional project to work.
