AET 100 - Introduction to Alternative Energies

Min Credits: 3

In this course the student will learn the units of energy, how it is measured, and what our current usage is. Students will determine their current energy usage. They will then be introduced to several alternative energy sources including solar, wind, biomass, hydrogen, fuel cells, and others. As these topics are introduced, students will gain an understanding of these energy sources, applications, and the ability to determine their potential for sustainable energy. The course ends with the development of a plan to create a sustainable energy program for them. These topics will be learned through text, presentations, various exercises, and hands on labs.
