Abstract :
Michigan Tech (USA) is now at the end of a development cycle for a new course in energy systems. Here, the authors describe how, over the past 2 1/2 years, they have been working with the support of the National Science Foundation and the Electric Power Research Institute to develop an introductory course in energy systems which is stimulating for the students, is up to date, gives a broad understanding of the field, and which lays a solid foundation for future study.
