ENGR 196B

Energy and Modern Life

Our "modern life" is intimately and increasingly intertwined with energy utilization. This course deals with where energy comes from, how it is converted to desirable forms, where it is consumed, and what the consequences of this consumption are. In each case, historical prospective, current status, and future projections will be discussed. The ultimate objective of this course is to help students to make informed decisions on energy-related issues in their personal life and as responsible citizens of the society.
