Energy is crucial to all economic activity. activit y. It is an essential requirement for development and industrialization, but its production and use has been associated, directly dire ctly or indirectly, with many of the words environmental problems. Today, there is uncertainty about how much fossil fuel there are left in the ground and fluctuating prices on the world market make it difficult to plan ahead. The specter of global climate change due to  burning fossil fuels strengthens the case for renewable energy resources and energy efficiency. These twin threats make it more important that we understand how energy is used and how it could be exploited more effectively. This program is intended for engineers and technologists who want to develop a career in energy-related energy-rel ated fields. The focus is on understanding the technologies te chnologies of energy production and consumption. Course Outline
