ENG 440 - Power Engineering

Class Hours: 3, Units: 3
Prerequisite(s): ME 240 or ET 344
This course will survey the various processes used to convert various energy resources-fossil fuel (coal, oil, natural gas) and nuclear fuel as well as renewable sources (hydroelectric, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, ocean tidal and wave)-into useful electrical and mechanical energy. The focus will be on the engineering analysis, technology, and societal and environmental benefits and impacts of each process.
