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 7 or December 12.
- 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.[pptx or pdf etc]
- You and your partner should both participate in the presentation.
