E. Bitar.

An introduction for freshmen to the fundamental physical principles pertaining to energy sources, the engineering systems for the conversion, transmission, and storage of energy, and the economic constraints that determine the viability of competitive energy systems. Through a synthesis of science, engineering, and economic concepts, students will investigate technical design tradeoffs of current and future energy systems. This course will also introduce students to energy research being conducted at Cornell University.
