Overview
The course is considered one of the elective
specialization courses for students in the physics program and the course aims
to introduce the student to the concept of renewable energy, its importance and
uses, as well as the student is able to familiarize himself with the concept of
solar cells, solar panels and wind turbines and their applications in daily
life with his understanding of solar systems and examples of them and the
method of operation and uses. The student will also learn about solar and
renewable energy systems, how they work, their advantages, and the extent of
their contributions to the development of modern science and technology.
Intended learning outcomes
By passing this course, the student will be able
to give a clear concept of renewable energy and its importance, enumerate the
uses of alternative energy and give examples of it, and be able to explain the
idea of the work of the solar cell and photovoltaic systems.
To be able to remember the practical
applications of solar panels and wind turbines, to explain the economics of
renewable energy, to become familiar with the theoretical ideas of sustainable
energies and link them to practical life, and to be able to design a solar
energy system with small and medium capacity. It also becomes able for the
student to distinguish between the mechanism of work of solar cells and thermal
and mechanical systems, and the learner can apply what he studied in practical
life and deduce positive trends towards the use of alternative energy, and be
able to invest the thermal energy available from the ground and understand the
importance of renewable energy of all kinds and its relationship to physics.
Teaching and learning methods
1- Lectures, use of the blackboard, explanation and
clarification
2- Develop a plan to ask questions and develop questions Daily
rapid exams
3- Linking the material
to reality, and applying theoretical concepts in various physical issues
4- Directing questions
to students and forming discussion groups during lectures to discuss solving
issues that require thinking and analysis.
