III. Comprehend the local regional and global effects of energy production and consumption.
IV. Know the economic evaluations pertaining to energy and the rest of the economy
V. Understands various sustainability indicators and the sustainability metrics
VI. Differentiate between various fossil fuels and their contribution to human processes.
VII. Knows the issues related to fossil fuels from exploration , discovery , extraction to final use.
VIII. Comprehend and analyze the environmental impacts of fossil fuels.
IX. Differentiate between various new and renewable energy sources and their contribution to human processes

Course Content

Wide aspects of energy use from the viewpoints of sustainability, resource availability, technical performance, environmental effects, and economics. The course shows the tools to make “informed energy choices” and review the technology, environmental impacts and economics of main energy sources like nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal energies and hydropower. Covers the relationships between the development of technology, energy resources, and energy technologies available today.
