Energy and Environment, Engineering 555       Energy and Environmental Systems Analysis
Analyzes the technologies that energize industrial civilization by adopting a systems view of energy extraction, transformation and end-use, and of the interaction of energy technologies with the environment. Topics include energetics of natural systems and agriculture; formation, extraction, and transformations of fossil fuels; nuclear power; modern renewables such as biomass, solar and wind; electricity generation, transmission and economics; and, energy use in buildings. Energy systems operate within environmental constraints, arguably the most important of which is the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to slow climate change. Technical options for transforming energy systems to meet such environmental constraints will be assessed.
Course Hours: H(3-1T)
Prerequisite(s): Third, fourth or fifth year standing in the Schulich School of Engineering.
Antirequisite(s): Credit for both Energy and Environment, Engineering 555 and Engineering 555 will not be allowed.
Also known as: (formerly Engineering 555)
