  • Abstract
    The need to modernize and upgrade engineering curricula by introducing courses in direct energy conversion (DEC) at both graduate and undergraduate level is emphasized. It is suggested that an introductory coutse in DEC be initiated at the senior level. The inherently interdisciplinary nature and the scope of DEC are outlined. Partial lists of research and seminar projects, and companies manufacturing laboratory and research equipment in DEC are presented.
