ENGR 314 Introduction to Alternative Energy
This course will deal with the issues of alternative energy sources and sustainable energy sources. We will pay particular attention to the efficiency of each alternative energy source as well as what limitations exist in terms of extracting useable energy. The course will start out covering solar energy but will then move to other alternative energy sources such as Wind, Tides, Hydroelectric, Ocean Currents, and Geothermal. This course is not intended to be overly technical, in the sense that non-engineering majors should be able to understand the material.
