  Planting a tree can absorb a ton of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere over the life of the tree, as well as reducing energy costs with its shade.

Course Development Grants 2007

The Energy Center accepted applications for funding from faculty and graduate students to develop new courses or to enhance existing courses to include energy-related topics and issues. Course development grants were awarded in 2007 totaling $6,500 to:

• Robert Nerenberg, Assistant Professor in Civil Engineering and Gelogical Sciences, to redesign existing courses "Wastewater Design" and "Environmental Biotechnology" to incorporate energy efficiency, renewable energy production, and carbon sequestration.
• John Simon, graduate student in Electrical Engineering, under the direction of Alan Seabaugh, to develop a new course "Electrical Energy Extraction" focusing on teaching the physics of energy conversion devices.
• Alexandre Chapeaux, graduate student in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, under the direction of Angela Miller McGraw, to develop the seminar "Energy Policy, the Environment, and Social Change" focusing on the scientific, environmental, economic, geopolitical, and social implications of current energy technologies.
