Energy In Everyday Life

Catalog description

Energy permeates our everyday life and is at the heart of understanding how the world around us works. What is energy? How is energy used in the biological, chemical, electrical and mechanical systems that impact our daily lives? What would our world be like if there was a nearly infinite supply of inexpensive energy? This multidisciplinary survey course offers learners the opportunity to master practical job skills: the ability to observe, gather data, and think critically to make order-of-magnitude estimates.
