Energy
About Our Program:
The Renewable Energy course will teach students about the science of electricity while emphasizing the ecological consequences of conventional energy production and consumption. Through hands-on design lab activities, students will learn about renewable power, including solar, wind, and bio-diesel. This course will encourage students to formulate an appreciation of science and engineering and to encourage their further exploration of these disciplines with respect to environmental issues.
