ingreenhouse gas emissions. In order to implement renewable energy in projects, qualifiedpersonnel take a very important role in planning and design prior to project implementation.Education and training of workforce who will be involved in the projects is important and shouldbe taken into account when investments are considered to execute projects, so that there will bequalified personnel. In preparing students for their future career, real-world experiences andhands-on training is an important part of their education. Research projects and laboratories areexcellent teaching aids for providing students with opportunities to implement the theory theylearn in class. Educating the younger generations about sustainable and clean energy sources isvital to

It should bementioned that the Chem E Sustainable Energy Lab team leader is recognized in Puerto Rico asan expert in Sustainable Energy. At least once a month presentations are delivered toprofessional organizations (50 to 100 attending, engineers and chemists) for continuouseducation credit in the area of Sustainable Energy. An outreach collaboration with a major citybenefitted from their self governance philosophy that allows the organization of Town Hallmeetings with relatively ease. Eleven energy town hall meetings were organized between2009/10 to kickoff a series of demonstrations projects planned for that

generation have tended to evolve with thesechanging interests, teaching and research dedicated to the conservation of energy has remainedcomparatively static.From an analytical standpoint, many companies do not possess the in-house knowledge neededto fully assess the impact that simple energy conservation measures can have on their facilities ormanufacturing operations. This knowledge gap can often be bridged when plans for the moreefficient use of energy is correlated directly to monetary savings. Toward this end, theresponsible energy engineer must be fully adept in the appropriate engineering fundamentals andthe associated economics as well.Spurring renewed interest in the development and adoption of both new and existing energyconservation

recommended toincorporate electronic library resources into the online learning management system used inconjunction with this course in order to involve the U.S. Coast Guard Academy library more instudent learning.Currently, this seminar has been proposed to be offered again in the spring of 2014 with the sameinstructors as 2012. The online learning management system is planned to be used to directlylink to the library in order to encourage students to use well-vetted resources as primaryreferences for the research during this course. Additionally, the order of presentations will beconsidered and shared with each of the presenters, so that there is not too much overlap betweenpresentations, such as the emphasis on the U.S. regulatory system for

”. It is a centrally planned and controlledsystem with relatively little flexibility to fluctuations in energy demand. As the nation and theeconomy becomes increasingly digital, energy demand is growing rapidly. For example, it isestimated that by 2015 around 60% of the total electrical load will be from chip technologies andautomated manufacturing versus 10% of the total in the 1990s 1. While the automotive industry is presently dependent on petroleum sources, the growingpresence of Plug-in Hybrid Electric (PHEV) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) will begin toact as a stress upon the electrical grid by drawing resources during times of peak energy demand.A study from Oak Ridge National Laboratory finds that charging vehicles during off
