  1. Energy Engineering Education and Research Initiatives Engineering Advisory Council October 14, 2005

  2. What does the future hold? • By 2050 oil and gas well drilling and production will be less important • Current oil and gas companies will be energy companies • A new discipline—Energy Engineering—will be needed • Current Petroleum Engineering departments will eventually change Steve Holditch July 2004

  3. Renewable and Alternative Energy Resources Energy Engineering Petroleum Engineering Fossil Fuels Production & Generation Distribution & Transmission Consumption Energy System Diagram Geothermal & Hydroelectric Solar & Wind Biomass Nuclear Smart Buildings Zero Emission Power Plant Coal Smart Grid Zero Emission Refining Depot / Fuel Stations Oil ICE/Elec/H2 Hybrid Vehicles Distributed H2 Generation Natural Gas Natural Gas Conversion

  4. Education Initiatives • ENGR 101 • Energy Engineering Certificate

  5. ENGR 101 Energy: Resources, Utilization, and Importance to Society • Honors course for 2006 • Regular course starting in 2007 • Applying for Natural Science core curriculum designation • Sustainable development component

  6. ENGR 101 Lecture Topics • Energy • Link with wealth, size of energy industry, dominance of hydrocarbons • Energy Conversions, energy for heating, energy storage • Engines and Energy for Transportation • Electricity • Power generation, transmission, conserving electricity • Oil • Resource: History, geology, exploration, production • Conversion: Refining, products, policies/politics of oil • 20th Century Fuel: transportation, environmental, conservation/economics • Natural Gas • 21st Century Fuel: Resources, supply, distribution, utilization, products

  7. ENGR 101 Lecture Topics • Coal • Resource: History, geology/geography, mining, utilization • Conversion: Liquifaction/gasification, shale oil/gas, tar sands, environment • Energy and Environment • hydrocarbon dominance, global warming, scarcity • Nuclear • History (present and future roles), utilization, policy/politics • Hydroelectric and Geothermal • Water and environment • Alternative Energy Resources • Biomass: Agriculture sources, utilization, waste sources • Wind/Solar/Hydrogen: Resource, utilization, emerging/future tech’s
