3.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the basic concepts, tools, techniques and materials needed to design and construct systems that convert wind and hydro resources into electricity. Students will study how to measure these renewable resources and to estimate the power that could be produced from them. They will also have the opportunity to learn how to design and construct complete renewable electricity systems and become familiar with many contemporary products used in renewable electricity systems. The course will include classroom and "hands-on" design, construction and possibly some field trip experiences outside of class. Lecture two hours, laboratory two hours. Prerequisite: TEC 3601 or permission of the instructor. [Dual-listed with TEC 5607.] Dual-listed courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.

This course will introduce students to the basic concepts, tools, techniques and materials needed to design and construct systems that convert solar resources into electricity with photovoltaic (PV) technologies. Students will study how to assess the solar resources available at a particular site and how that information can be used to properly design PV systems. They will also have the opportunity to learn how to design and construct complete code compliant photovoltaic systems and become familiar with contemporary trends and products. The course will include classroom and "hands-on" design, construction and possibly some field trip experiences outside of class. Lecture two hours, laboratory two hours. Prerequisite: TEC 3601 or permission of the instructor. [Dual-listed with TEC 5608.] Dual-listed courses require senior standing; juniors may enroll with permission of the department.
