Small island nations such as Aruba are highly exposed to risks from climate change and high energy prices. At the same time, there is the potential for sustainable production and utilization of energy from solar, wind, and other renewable resources. In this embedded course, students will initially learn and work together remotely with students at the University of Aruba to explore the operational principles of different energy-consuming and producing technologies. During spring break, Penn State students will travel to Aruba to participate in joint lectures and technical and cultural tours and form multi-university project teams for the design and analysis of an energy system. Students will spend the remainder of the semester working together, concluding in a final remote joint presentation. Students will earn 3 credits of ME 299.
