EE 458 Energy Harvesting Technologies
Ambient energy is energy that is present in our surroundings that remains unutilized. Energy harvesting refers to any efforts to collect and put this energy to use. This course aims to acquaint students with the state-of-the art of Energy Harvesting Technologies: photovoltaic, thermoelectric, and kinetic. The course is inherently interdisciplinary, spanning the realms of electrical, mechanical, and materials engineering, and it is designed to be self-contained, so that, other than fundamental notions common to all engineering majors, no prior knowledge is assumed.
