摘要
<jats:p>Sustainable energy is growing in importance as the public becomes more aware of climate change and the need to satisfy our society’s energy demands while minimizing environmental impacts. To further this awareness and to better prepare a workforce for “green careers,” we developed a sustainable energy laboratory course that is suitable for high school and undergraduate students, especially non-science majors. Thirteen hands-on exercises provide an overview of sustainable energy by demonstrating the basic principles of wind power, photovoltaics, electric cars, lighting, heating/cooling, insulation, electric circuits, and solar collectors. The order of content presentation and instructional level (secondary education or college) can easily be modified to suit instructor needs and/or academic programs (e.g., engineering, physics, renewable and/or sustainable energy).</jats:p>
