Course Objectives:	At the conclusion of this course, students will understand the history of energy, its contemporary idea, and the global/national viewpoint on energy. They will be able to understand the operating principles of alternative energy sources, such as solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, wave/tidal energy, and geothermal energy systems, as well as do theoretical energy analysis based on thermodynamic laws.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
At the end of the course, you will be able to:

1. Find out where energy came from, what it means, and where it's going.
2. Develop theoretic energy equations for solar thermal and solar electric systems.
3. Describe the essential approaches for the engineering study of wind energy systems, including the fundamental terminology of wind energy conversion and the analysis of wind data, including average wind speed.
4. Learn the basic energy transfers that take place in a hydroelectric, wave and tidal power plants.
5. Learn the fundamental energy transfers that occur during geothermal energy and heat production.

Course Content

Within the scope of this course, national and international perspectives on the current use of energy will be examined. In addition, the first law of thermodynamics will be applied to solar thermal, solar electricity, wind, hydro, wave, and tidal systems, as well as geothermal heat and geothermal electricity technologies.
