MECE 4360 Solar Energy
This course will have about 6 or 7 labs throughout the semester in the instrumentation lab, and during the weeks we have labs, the lectures are 50 minutes each (lectures are 1 hour and 15 minutes during weeks without lab). The main goal of this advanced professional preparation course is to introduce students to alternative energy systems and their applications, with particular emphasis in solar energy systems. The course also covers other topics related to renewable energy and sustainability. Solar energy systems are multidisciplinary because they involve the integration of material science, electronics, control systems, and economics, among other areas, which altogether contribute to design and implement smart energy products and processes.
