Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (Tropical Engineering) (One Semester
BACKGROUND
The course aims to
introduce the basic concepts, principles, uses and challenges of various
renewable energy sources and devices including bio-energy, solar energy, wind
energy, micro-hydro, wave and tidal power, geothermal and fuel cells. Students
will develop the ability to identify, formulate and solve simple to complex
problems of renewable energy conversion. Students will know and understand
contemporary issues pertaining to energy, environment and society from global
perspectives.
OBJECTIVES
The main goals of this
class include students gain an understanding of the practical use and
challenges as well as cost-benefit ratios of various alternative energy
sources, in order to see what is feasible on a large scale and what is not.
Students are also expected to understand some of the various obstacles
associated with actual implementation of production line alternative energy
facilities. Upon the completion of this program students are able to do
calculations regarding the cost of energy usage and the required infrastructure
to deliver a certain amount of power.
