Global Perspectives on Energy: Engineering Solutions for Sustainable Futures

This module explores the crucial role of engineers in addressing global energy challenges amidst rising debates on climate change and resource consumption. As societies evolve, energy demand increases, leading to significant greenhouse gas emissions. The assignment includes hands-on experimentation with solar panels, allowing students to measure voltage outputs at varying angles using tools like multimeters and protractors. Additionally, discussions focus on contentious topics such as global warming, U.S. energy production policies, and incentives for alternative energy sources, fostering critical thinking on energy solutions.

  1. Engineering Concepts in Technology by Andrew G. Bell abell118@ivytech.edu (260) 481-2288 Module 2 Global Perspective – Energy

  2. Engineering Concepts in Technology Energy – We all live on this planet and energy is probably one of the hottest topics of debate we face today. Regardless of whether you believe in global warming or not we are faced with many global problems related to energy use and production. As cultures develop the need for more energy grows, with more energy produced there are more greenhouse gasses produced. Engineers are and will continue to be key stakeholders in the development of global solutions to help all of mankind …

  3. Engineering Concepts in Technology Team Assignment – Using solar panels, multimeter, protractor and a light source (could use the sun) measure the output voltage of a solar panel as the incident angle changes. The plot the results in Microsoft Excel. Individual Assignment – In the Discussion Board respond to the following posts: 1.) Do you believe in global warming? 2.) Should the United States increase natural gas or oil production? 3.) Should the United States abide by the Kyoto Accord? 4.) Should the state of Indiana and the Federal government provide larger tax breaks for consumers and businesses that use alternative energy sources? Individual Assignment – Write a short two page paper on some aspect of energy. For example, could write a paper on how Wind or hydro or PV systems work.
