New course on Sustainable Energy and Society offered Autumn 2011
Posted:
Can we obtain enough energy from various sources including wind, sun, tides, geothermal, and nuclear, to support society's rate of consumption? A new course, ECE 294 "Sustainable Energy and Society," being offered Autumn 2011, will explore these questions. Intended for non-engineers, the only prerequisite is college algebra (Math 104 or higher). We'll explore how to estimate how much energy we actually use and for what, and how much the various sustainable sources could potentially provide. The course is taught by Prof. Betty Lise Anderson from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The text is free and online.
