Welcome!

This is the homepage for the ES238 Introduction to Energy Systems course.

The primary goal of this course is to develop knowledge and critical thinking skills on energy issues as this is perhaps one of the greatest growing challenges our world will need to face.

Students will be able to utilize basic scientific and engineering principles to analyze fundamental energy systems and use those principles to critically review relevant literature. Topics include energy supply and demand systems, life cycle analysis, energy efficiency, and the environmental consequences of various sources such as global climate change in the 21st century
