This US DOE funded project produced ten advanced energy engineering technology courses where students learn about the latest technologies and practices in the energy industry to reduce energy use in residential, commercial and industrial settings, accounting for over 50% of the world’s energy use. A geothermal and a solar thermal system were installed and commissioned as part of this project, an MATC’s cost share. An innovative intelligent lighting lab was installed, complete with course content as well as innovative academic pathway construction, laddering students from the 2-year technical college to the 4-year engineering school.
