Energy Science and Engineering Lectures

Catalog description

Lectures and discussion by faculty and visiting scientists/engineers on energy science and engineering, job selection, patents, licensing, ethics, and other professional issues and challenges. EGEE 012 Energy Science and Engineering Lectures (1) The objective of the course is to expose students through a lecture or seminar format to a wide range of topics on energy science and engineering. The lectures would be presented by faculty and visiting scientists. Occasionally, students may be asked to make presentations. Students would be required to write a short summary of each presentation and provide a critique of the presentation. Seminar topics will cover aspects of energy production, processing, utilization, and conservation, and the associated environmental, health and safety, and policy, economics, and management issues. Students are expected to keep up with current developments on each topic and to actively participate in the discussions. Students will be evaluated based on their class participation, and written summary and critique of each presentation. This is a required course in the energy engineering major.
