What is Clean Energy Applications about?
This course builds on the foundation of Course 1 and introduces nuclear power, geothermal energy, steam generation, fuel cells, water power, alternating and direct current (AC/DC), power generation, heat transfer, and the laws of thermodynamics. In addition, students now use chemical and thermal energy principles to create, store and use energy efficiently to power a variety of mechanical and electrical devices. Students engage in a variety of hands-on design projects to demonstrate principles using advanced technology hardware and software.

What do students do in the class?
Students apply scientific concepts and skills when participating in research activities. Students use skills learned in high school mathematics classes, like inverse square law, Bernoulli’s equation, and data collection, interpretation, and analysis. Students often complete assignments to read technical texts from the clean energy fi eld to acquire background information. They frequently consult other supporting documents to complete the project assignment.
