Illinois State University is also
reaching out to local high school
students for different contests and even
scholarships that they are offering.
I also see an opportunity to potentially
use our Building Trades class to
use Renewable Energy and use
these classes as cross-curricular and
intertwine their projects. Possibly we
could do a small unit on Solar Energy
in the Renewable Energy class, and
then install a solar roof vent fan on the
Building Trades house project for the
semester.
Even the use of Smart phones and
technology has increased with
the energy careers and how they
implement technology into each field.
The 6 units I am currently looking
at implementing in this curriculum
are:
1. Energy Science, Fossil Fuels &
Climate Change
2. Exploring Home Energy Use &
Conservation
3. Building Energy Efficiency
4. Solar Energy
5. Wind Energy
6. Geothermal Energy
