About 30years ago when crude oil was thought to be suddenly short on supply, researchers, engineers andcompanies began to investigate alternative energy sources. At some point in time supplies for fossil fuel and crude oil will diminish to a critical levelthat is why it is important to teach students how use and incorporate renewable energy into theirengineering projects independently of their majors.
