Society for Engineering Education, 2006 The Hubbert Curve: Enabling Students to Meaningfully Model Energy Resource DepletionAbstractCourses in Energy Systems (alternatively named “Applied Energy Conversion,” “EnergyConversion Systems,” or some variant) often discuss the idea of energy resource depletion interms of the exponential growth model. A typical problem is: given the current growth rate of oilproduction, in what year will known reserves be depleted? The exponential growth model,although offering reasonable results initially, becomes less accurate in the later stages of resourceexploitation as issues of scarcity, cost, and technological hurdles become important. It grosslyunder predicts how long a
