Project

For this project, you will work with a partner to find an article or topic in energy engineering and then give a 10 minute presentation to the class on either December 5 or December 10.

• Option 1: current events article
  • Choose an article from a reputable news source, or from a scientific journal.
  • Include a summary of the article, the major findings, and key issues raised.
  • Feel free to include your own analysis: do you agree with the premise, are there things they missed.
  • You are free to use other supporting information if that makes sense for your discussion. Sometimes an article will link to other articles.
• Option 2: Energy topic
  • Find a topic in energy that we did not cover in the class that you would like to research and share.
  • You can use multiple sources for this.
  • Examples:
    • Shale oil and tar sands
    • Tidal and wave energy
    • Residential energy use, balances, efficiency
    • Alternative heating and cooling strategies for homes
    • Fusion energy
    • Advanced concepts in engines to improve efficiency
    • CO2 sequestration technologies

Groups and presentations

• Here’s a link to a google sheet for indicating your partner and team number.
• Presentations must be uploaded to this folder before class starts.
• Name the file Group_#_LastName_LastName_LastName.[pptx or pdf etc]
• Each member of the group should participate in the presentation.
