  7. John Abelson, MatSE Energy and Sustainability Engineering (EaSE)Graduate Program • Open to MS and PhD students in natural sciences & architecture:– Seminar (15 faculty speakers; > 100 students in Spring 2011)– Theory & methods core course– Seven specializations (160 courses within):Biomass, Geologic, Markets, Conversion & Transmission, Built Environment, Safety & Security, Environmental Systems– Student earns a certificate (on top of the departmental degree) • Fall 2011: Anticipated start of ME degree inEnergy Systems Bioenergy Professional Science Masters (PSM) • BS degree + 1 year masters + 3 business courses + internship • Student exchange program with Sao Paulo, Brazil

  8. Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? • Leverage the extraordinary collection of energy resources at UI(EaSE, EBI, CABER, SESE, ECI, SDEP, NRES, STEM, MSTE, iFoundry, pERE,…) • Fall 2011: Launch a campus-wide initiative in Clean Energy Systems for both science and non-science students:– Programs for K-12, undergraduate, graduate, community colleges, continuing ed… • Develop interdisciplinary student engagement & research– Technology, society, business, policy, regulation… What are the opportunities by collaboration & partnerships? • Student exchanges to perform projects in specific contexts • Online seminars & courses, including continuing education • Develop the intersection between the sustainability of materials (Ashby / CES) and the design of products and systems

  10. Example Area of Specialization: Energy Conversion and Transmission The supply of energy depends on the conversion of energy from one form (wind, thermal, solar, electrochemical) to another (mechanical, electrical, thermal). The courses in this specialization present the theory, technology, and efficiency of these processes.  Electricity is generated at fossil, nuclear, or renewable power plants and moves to the user via a power grid with issues involving control, dynamics, and stability.  Two courses from any one of these three sets qualify for a specialization.   Renewable ResourcesAE 481 Wind Power TechnologyATMS 511 Atmospheric Radiation NPRE 498Fuel Cell Science and Technology OR Wind Power MSE 498Photovoltaic Materials and Devices  Electrical Conversion and ControlECE 431 Electric Machinery ECE 464 Power Electronics ECE 568 Model & Cntrl Electromech SystECE 598 PLC Advanced Power Electronics Thermal Systems ME 400 Energy Conversion Systems ME 401 Refrigeration and Cryogenics ME 402 Design of Thermal Systems ME 404 Intermediate Thermodynamics AE 412 Viscous Flow & Heat Transfer ME 412 Numerical Thermo-Fluid Mechs ME 420 Intermediate Heat Transfer ME 502 Thermal Systems ME 504 Multiphase Systems & Processes ME 520 Heat Conduction ME 521 Convective Heat Transfer ME 522 Thermal Radiation  Heat EnginesME 403 Internal Combustion Engines ME 501 Combustion FundamentalsME 503 Design of IC Engines  Nuclear EnergyNPRE 402 Nuclear Power Engineering NPRE 455 Neutron Diffusion & TransportNPRE 511 Nuclear Reactor Heat Transfer NPRE 555 Reactor Theory I Power Generation, Transmission, and DistributionECE 476 Power system Analysis ECE 530 Large-scale System Analysis ECE 573 Power System Control ECE 576 Power System Dynm & Stability
