Electricity is essential for life in today's world, by discussing how it is intertwined with the environment and society we can prepare consumers and engineers to actively transform our grid. This course introduces freshman students to the operational structure of the power system as well as its side effects, culminating in a discussion about justice in the electric grid. It is designed to expand the discussion about "clean energy" and shed light on the multidisciplinary challenges of developing sustainable and equitable power systems. Students will learn while playing games and engaging in discussions, activities that practice soft skills and prepare them for professional life.

Open to students in the Engineering Connect RAP in Moore Hall First year (Fr or Soph)
