Energy Education
Steven B. Leeb, James L. Kirtley, Jr., Les K. Norford

We are developing exciting new laboratory subjects that address critical needs in our current undergraduate education: the opportunity for an exposure to energy conversion and energy related processes. We intend to focus on the basics of energy and power at the beginning stages of a student's education. "Hands-on" experimentation is a central aspect of the subjects we are offering, with a unique set of experiments and design and construction activities focused on understanding the operation of industrially, commercially, and scientifically important energy consuming devices and measurement apparatus.

Students compare the energy density and range of gasoline versus electrochemical storage based on their experiments and measurements.	Above, undergraduate students test a combustion chamber. Below, an energy teaching robot in EECS.
