Course Objectives

Learning purposes : The purpose of this course is to understand that the contents of environmental and energy engineering are made up of various complex technologies that are deeply related to each other across a wide range of specialized fields, and to understand the importance of future energy and global environmental issues.

Course Objectives :
1. To be able to explain the fundamentals of environmental and energy engineering (e.g., fundamentals of energy, environment, people, resources, and economy).
2. To be able to explain the applications of environmental energy engineering (e.g., various types of energy (mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic, light and solar, chemical and fossil fuel, biological and biomass, nuclear and nuclear fuel) and their effective utilization).
3. To be able to explain the environmental applications of environmental energy engineering (e.g., global warming, environmental conservation) and future energy and environment.

Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
Specialized

Field of learning: Environmental engineering

Foundational academic disciplines: Engineering/basics of engineering

Relationship with Educational Objectives : This class is equivalent to (2) Acquire basic science and techinical knowledge


Outline: This course provides a broad overview of the fundamentals, applications, and future prospects of energy science and environmental science. Students will learn about the current status and issues of various energy generation and utilization technologies, and develop the ability to find and solve problems from the perspective of the environment and energy.
Style:
Method: The second semester is 16 weeks long, 2 credit hours per week (90 minutes). Students will be divided into groups of several students. They will prepare materials based on the theme and content of each week and each student will make a presentation based on the materials. Study the textbook and your own to prepare for your presentation.

Grading system: Presentation materials (40%) and quizzes (10%) will count for 50% of the final grade, and the results of the regular examinations will count for 50%. The overall grade is the average of the midterm and final grades. If a student is found to have insufficient understanding of a subject based on the results of the final exam, the student will be given a make-up lecture on that part of the subject and may be required to take a retest. The result of the retest will be included in the regular exam result with a maximum of 60 points. Students are allowed to bring their own textbooks and other materials to the exam.
Notice:
"Course Note: Since this course covers a very wide range of fields, you may have to write a report on areas that cannot be covered in class alone. Students are encouraged to study the subject thoroughly.

Basic subjects: Introduction to Electromagnetism (3rd year), Introduction to Thermodynamics (3), Power Engineering (4), Electric Power Transmission and Distribution (4)

Related subjects: electrical applications and environment (4 years), environmental science (5)

Advice: Take sufficient time to prepare the preliminary materials. This course requires a comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter covered in the past and students should try to align the content of the course with the knowledge learned in the past. Attendance will be taken, and each hour will be considered late from the beginning of the class to 20 minutes. If you are later than 20 minutes late, you will be considered absent from the class.
