Embed climate-focused energy awareness in every step of your educational program with this unique guide to specifying, designing, implementing, and evaluating educational energy initiatives. Discover how to design programs for different learner groups, and keep learners engaged; develop energy-focused project-based hands-on experiential teaching approaches; champion professional development; embed systems, modelling, and computational analysis within curricula; and address issues in justice and equity. This uniquely interdisciplinary approach spans engineering, the physical sciences, and the social sciences, supporting instructors in delivering programs that feed global demand for energy-related climate education, while highlighting ways to avoid the pitfalls of engineering-only energy programs. Ideal for academics involved in teaching and developing undergraduate and graduate courses in energy, academic educational program managers, and professionals in energy-related early career onboarding, this is your key to unlock an empowered energy-transition workforce.
