NRG 124 Energy Efficiency Methods 4 cr.
A systems approach is used to analyze the
input, output, and efficiency of commonplace
energy conversion devices. Included are
motors, fans, pumps, heat engines, domestic
hot water heaters, furnaces, boilers, refrigeration
devices, and heat pumps. In so doing
students (1) become fluent in the use of the
many different units used to denote and
measure energy/power (2) learn what
quantities need to be measured to determine
energy/power in different systems (3)
determine the energy/cost savings associated
with different efficiency improvement
strategies.

EGR 103 Fundamentals of Engineering
Design 3 cr.
This course involves interdisciplinary groups of
students working on an engineering design
project. Electronic, mechanical, and computeraided
drafting lecture and lab modules are
designed to give students the skills to design,
build, document, and present a working
project. Each team prepares a written report,
gives an oral presentation, and demonstrates
their multidisciplinary project. Projects must
contain at least two elements of electronic,
mechanical, architectural, and/or civil
engineering design.
