MSEN4305 - Sustainable Electricity Generation

MSEN 4305 Sustainable Electricity Generation (3 semester credit hours) Electricity accounts for 20 percent of the world's total final consumption of energy. Its global demand is projected to double the 2020 level by 2050. This increase in consumption will decimate the climate unless we find sustainable ways to generate electricity. This course will cover the science and technology of sustainable methods for the generation of electricity. Examples include solar cells, wind energy, nuclear reactions, thermoelectric, and geothermal sources. Prerequisite: MSEN 3304. (3-0) R
