Alternative Energy

The course will review the evolution of alternative energies and will explore the green/renewable movement, solar technology, wind turbines, geothermal and material energy efficiencies will be studied. While exploring all facets of Alternative Energy, students will conduct research, do experiments, build working models and monitor actual working energy systems. Students will become competent in Green Building procedures, materials and equipment usage for the Sustainable Building trades by working with hands on projects throughout the course. Students will gain insight into future careers by building sheds, barns and green houses that are energy efficient and sustainable. (Articulated College credit in the area of Alternative Energy and Sustainable building will be available for this class.)
