Course Goal / Objective
The aim is to introduce the working principles of renewable energy systems such as solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal at a technical level, to analyze the effects of energy conversion processes on ecological balance, and to instill in future mechanical technicians the necessary professional perspective in the installation and operation phases of environmentally friendly energy technologies.
Course Content
This course examines the fundamental working principles of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydraulic, as well as the design and operation of mechanical systems that enable energy production from these sources. While addressing the impacts of energy production processes on ecosystems, carbon footprint reduction, energy efficiency, and sustainable environmental policies, the course aims to equip students with the technical competence to understand clean energy technologies that can offer alternatives to the environmental damage caused by fossil fuels, and the maintenance and repair processes of these systems.
