Energy Tomorrow Program
Overview: This six week course for engineering students explores energy and sustainability, with a focus on new developments in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. Instruction is based on a combination of lectures, tutorials, lab work, demonstrations, site visits, assignments and discussion periods. The program begins in Darwin, in Australia's 'Top End'. While based in Darwin, there will be a 3-day camping expedition into Kakadu National Park. For weeks three through five, the program is based at the UNSW campus, located 20 minutes from downtown Sydney and five minutes from the beachside suburb of Coogee. The final section of the course is held in Cairns, where there will be a field excursion to a renewable energy site.
