Prerequisite: MATH111; PHYS121; CHEM131; or permission of instructor. An overview of various renewable energy technologies and their current applications. Emphasis will be placed on energy sustainability, consumption, efficiency, and ease of transition to renewable energy alternatives. Quantification of incident solar energy is covered in detail along with the basic physics of energy conversion, current energyusage, and carbon capture and sequestration practices. Technologies include hydroelectric, wind and wave turbines, solar thermal conversion,photovaltaic, hydrogen, fuel cells, geothermal, biogas, and biofuel.
