Syllabus75% of material: 

1.   Natural-scientific principles 

 Needed to understand energy and environmental processes. These include kinetic and potential energy; the First and Second Laws of thermodynamics; forms of work; of

heat transfer including radiation, conduction and convection; heat engines and

refrigeration; combustion; fuel cells; batteries; solar cells; phase transitions; the forcesof nature; a conceptual understanding of atomic systems and of nuclear fission, fusion

and of the sun; and the use and storage of energy by plants. The geological origins offossil fuels and their uneven global distribution and depletion rates; the scientific

 principles governing wind, biomass, water-tidal, geothermal and solar energy.

2. 

Technological-engineering systems 

For the extraction, processing and the end-use of energy. Systems include coal,

natural-gas and uranium for the generation of electricity and electrical distribution

grids; and the use of oil in transportation; alternative energy systems and their

engineering limitations. Heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) andrefrigeration systems, as well as lighting for public and residential buildings; and

 basics of control systems.

25% of material: 

3.  Social and environmental consequences 

Of fossil fuels, including the greenhouse effect and global warming, acid rain; the

hazards and disposal of radioactive wastes; traffic congestion, urban sprawl; and

social-economic inequalities in the access to energy and transport services are

stressed throughout.

4.   Political-economy and public policy issues 

As concerns energy resources and their exploitation. Compare automobile- and oil-

centric societies with alternative models using mass-transit, fast-trains and pedestrianmobility. Special attention is paid to the realities of the global oil industry. U.S.,

Chinese, European-Union and Japanese policies, global contention over energy

sources and their distribution, especially oil. US involvement in the Caspian Basin,

the Persian Gulf and Iraq, Latin America and the South China Seas is discussed, etc.
