An Undergraduate Course on Renewable Energy Systems with Enhanced Marine Energy Content

Education and Training Program to Improve Preparedness and Increased Access to Energy Workforce for Engineering Technology Graduates

“…Several institutions of higher learning in the U.S. and around the globe have started integrating renewable energy training into their curriculum [5][6][7][8]. In [5], authors discussed efforts to integrate advanced approaches in a microgrid, test-rig emulators, and real-time simulation into early postgraduate and undergraduate engineering education.…”

“…In [6], an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach is discussed that involves the design and development of renewable energy projects allowing students to work on projects that can be relevant to current leading-edge research and technologies. In [7], authors explored a studentoriented curriculum model on Renewable Energy Sources (RES) as an important solution to the energy problem, and training talents with relevant skills and qualities have become a key part of their overall energy strategy. Based on Taylor Principle and PDCA Cycle Theory (Plan, Do, Check, Act), this paper proposed a "Student-centered Inquiry" RES course model together with three reference templates for the design, teaching, and evaluation processes of the course.…”

Curriculum Development in Renewable Energy and Sustainability

“…There are number of renewable course developments [11]- [13], and program integration initiatives during the last ten years. They cover various aspects of the development of renewal energy.…”
