Hands-on activities help them identify types of energy in their surroundings and enhance their understanding of energy.
We use energy in all its forms almost every day. Engineers study these forms of energy to help create things that make our lives easier. Currently, engineers are looking for better ways to produce electricity to keep energy affordable and less destructive to the environment. They are also investigating alternative fuel sources for use in vehicles, such as ethanol from corn and hydrogen from water.
Define energy and identify the different types that exist. Define potential and kinetic energy. Relate specific types of energy to different engineering projects.Understand the role of engineering in finding and testing various sources of energy for the production of electricity. 15TeachEngineering.orgSharon D.
