In the STEM Alternative Energy course, students discover how the four disciplines connect as they explore and practice the skills needed to work with different energy sources.

Once they are familiar with these technologies, they will have the opportunity to design innovative solutions to real-world problems, challenges and needs.

The purpose of the STEM Alternative Energy course is to introduce the students to the basic principles of the many energy sources considered to be alternatives to our current dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels.

The students will play the roles of alternative energy engineers who have been asked to provide specifications for the energy generation of two new cities. Their recommendations should be environmentally friendly, cost effective, and consist of at least 90% renewable sources.
