What is Clean Energy Systems about?
Th is course exposes students to three sources of renewable energy: wind, solar and biofuels. Working with solar, thermal, chemical and mechanical sources of clean energy teaches students how to apply physics, geography, chemistry, biology, geometry, algebra and engineering fundamentals. Students learn the most efficient and appropriate use of energy production as they explore the relevant relationships among work, power and energy. Students will engage in a wide variety of hands on projects and lab activities that both test their knowledge and illustrate the interrelationships between the various forms of clean energy.

This Clean Energy Technology (CET) course requires students to engage in authentic work they might encounter in the workplace. Students engage in a variety of challenging projects designed to prepare them for the workforce and for a variety of options for training and college after high school. Students complete a variety of learning activities that require them to apply both technical and academic — reading, writing, mathematics and science — knowledge and skills to complete complex workplace-related projects.
They practice reading, writing, mathematics, and science that are essential to success in this career field. Students apply scientific concepts and skills as they participate in research activities. Also, they apply mathematics skills like data collection, interpretation, and analysis. Students also participate in daily reading activities to acquire background technical information, prepare weekly written journals, and make oral presentations reflecting on what was read.
