MSE 1140
Materials: The Future of Energy

Course information provided by the 2014-2015 Catalog.

New technologies are urgently needed to fulfill projected global energy requirements. Materials properties typically limit the performance that can be achieved in generation, transport, and utilization of energy. This experiential learning course explores how new materials can increase our energy supply and decrease consumption. Materials issues in photovoltaic, fuel cell, battery, wind, transportation, lighting, and building technologies are studied. Through integrated lab-based activities students develop a broad understanding of materials issues in order to successfully design and build an energy generation system.


When Offered Spring.
