This early fall course explores the science and engineering of new energy technologies that are economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable. After a short but intense introduction to the relevant engineering principles at UW Bothell, the venue shifts to Ehime University in Japan for hands-on project work and on-the-ground study of Japan\u2019s efforts to develop and deploy new energy technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Japan is an especially interesting case because of the sudden loss of nearly a third of the country\u2019s electric power generating capacity when all nuclear plants were shut down after the meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant in March 2011. Since then, engineers have scrambled to develop wind, solar, geothermal, ocean, and other alternative sources of energy. 足彩app哪个是正规的 government is giving special attention to hydrogen, as both a fuel for combustion and source of energy storage, and our hosts at Ehime University are pursuing several interesting projects in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
足彩app哪个是正规的 course begins with two online activities during summer that provide an opportunity for UWB and Ehime University students to get to know each other (tentative). Face-to-face meetings begin at UWB during the last week of August. 足彩app哪个是正规的 focus is advanced topics in thermal fluids related to combustion of fuels, renewable energy, fuel cells, and energy storage. 足彩app哪个是正规的s will deepen their ability to apply science and engineering principles to the analysis of energy conversion processes, as well as explore broader economic, social, and political forces that are shaping the transition to cleaner, more efficient energy systems. Introductory Japanese language and cultural content is also included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the second week, the class travels to Japan for three weeks of study at Ehime University\u2019s College of Engineering. Teams of students will carry out laboratory projects under guidance of faculty and graduate students working in Ehime\u2019s thermal fluids and materials engineering labs. Field trips to nearby utilities, power plants, and related destinations are included, as well as a longer day trip to Hiroshima and the Peace Memorial dedicated to the victims of the atomic bombing that ended World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the course, students will be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

***足彩app哪个是正规的 program is eligible for financial aid and scholarships. Specifically, the Gilman Scholarship<\/a> and the UWB Study Abroad Scholarship<\/a> are available to help offset the costs***<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pre-requisites: Applicants must be currently enrolled UW students with a minimum GPA of 2.75, who have completed a course in engineering thermodynamics (B ME 331 or its equivalent) with a minimum grade of 2.0. While applications from all three UW campuses are welcome, priority will be given to UW Bothell students in the Mechanical Engineering program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 足彩app哪个是正规的s should be prepared for an intensive interdisciplinary experience ranging across engineering, economics, politics as they pertain to energy and energy policy, and Japanese culture. Program participants should expect a moderate level of physical activity, especially walking and bicycling, while in Japan. Knowledge of Japanese is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 足彩app哪个是正规的 program is limited to 14 participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 足彩app哪个是正规的 online application asks for a resume, unofficial transcript and a personal statement describing your interest and qualifications for the program. 足彩app哪个是正规的 essay should demonstrate a commitment to learning across disciplines, curiosity about different cultures, and interest in conversing with peers here and in Japan about our collective energy future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s the program like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out blogs from UW Bothell Study Abroad Ambassadors who participated in the program in previous years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both virtual and in-person appointments are available!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peer Study Abroad Advisors Natalia Dyba, Director of Global InitiativesInformation for Applicants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
