Abstract

Not only are energy and sustainability important topics in industry and in the public sector, they are topics of interest to engineering students as well. As a result, it is important to find innovative ways to incorporate energy and sustainability into the various curricula for all disciplines of engineering. This contribution will describe the development and implementation of a new, multidisciplinary elective course called Concepts, Assessment Tools and Methods in Sustainable Power and Energy at the University of Kentucky. This course utilizes a combination of traditional lecture and self-directed study modules to deliver course content to students in any engineering discipline. Additionally, the use of an interactive television connection to allow students at the University of Kentucky main campus in Lexington, the Extended Campus in Paducah, off campus graduate students and students at other in-state universities enrolled in the course to attend lecture and participate in classroom discussions will be described.
