The course explores sunlight and wind as energy sources that can be used to help reduce dependence on non-renewable fuel sources. It helps students gain a complete perspective of the field by studying the economics, efficiency, and low-environmental impact of producing energy from non-polluting, renewable sources. The training system is used in the lab environment to demonstrate how wind turbines and solar cells are being used in the consumer and industrial markets to supplement the world's power needs.
