Materials for Energy Systems and Energy Policy course

Materials for Energy Systems and Energy Policy (ME 8833) is part of the GT NESAC IGERT core curriculum, first offered in 2012 by Samuel Graham (ME) and Marilyn Brown (PP). Course objectives are to introduce students to energy technologies under development internationally along with enabling material innovations, provide understanding of measures of efficiency and where material challenges lie, and provide understanding of global Science and Technology, and environmental policies that helped establish specific global regions as leaders in a given technology. Several technologies related to energy efficiency, production, and storage were examined and the impact of materials, including current critical materials challenges were highlighted. Case studies of the energy and environmental, and science and technology policies in the US and abroad that have been key to energy technology development were presented.
