faculty interest as well as theperception that power was not a “hot” or growing field had created an atmosphere of indifferenceregarding energy issues common to institutions across the nation. However, through thecombined efforts of the college facilities staff and the Department of Engineering a program ofenergy education and student activities has been initiated which has quickly grown into a robustcomponent of the engineering program and campus. The purpose of this paper will be todescribe the TCNJ Energy Effort and its application in existing thermodynamic courses. It ishoped that the success of this effort will serve as a guide and inspiration for other academicinstitutions and programs to revitalize interest and education in energy
