Engineering 100se - Topics: Engineering for Everyone-Sustainable Energy

This course focuses on the global transition of energy systems toward sustainability and net-zero emissions. There is interest across the planet to transition to energy systems that emit zero pollutant emissions – but is this actually possible? Students learn about both the engineering elements of energy systems and the societal and government initiatives for The Energy Transition. Students work in teams to design sustainable energy systems, balancing the tradeoffs in cost, reliability, community needs, consumer responsibility and the environment, that are required to achieve “net-zero.” Students also learn about what it means to be an engineer, engineering science, ethics, decision making and how to navigate through the engineering program at Smith. Enrollment limited to 20.
