Technology has created the world in which we live. Our wealth, our economy, and the way we live each day have come about due to the emergence of technology over the centuries. The course will examine the relationship between technology and society; how technology influenced the development of society, how society influenced the development of technology, and how people in society view technology.
Overview of technologies used for generating electricity from location, recovery, transportation and storage of fuel to the types of technologies used to convert the fuel to electricity. Included is a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each technology and how they must adapt to be viable in the future. Technologies covered include coal, natural gas, nuclear, biomass, wind, solar and advanced technologies.
Introduction to power transmission basics, power system components, power flow, fault analysis and protection, control, stability, and economic operation of the power grid. This course will also introduce modern trends such as distributed generation, communications, and cybersecurity.
ELS 600 is a study of school leadership responsibilities assumed by teachers working collaboratively with colleagues and principals to create learning-centered schools that assure all students learn at their highest potential.
ELS 621 is the second course in a two-part sequence in which action research proposed in ELS 620 is conducted. Emphasis is placed on appropriate use of data for making informed decisions about classroom and school practices.
