課程大綱
The current world population is 7 billion people and it is expected to reach about 9.6 billion people by
2050. The energy and food production need to double under the constraints of clean environment/water
and global warming.
第一部分
The first part of this course (1 unit or 18 hours of instruction) will bring together opportunities for both
interdisciplinary and team learning. Students will engage in an interdisciplinary discussion that focuses on
complex topics at the intersection of energy strategy, society, and policy. This part of the course will
allow students to learn sustainability grand challenges at the nexus (interconnections/interdependencies)
of energy, food, and water. In addition, some of the primary objectives include to: (1) improve students’
understanding of energy technology and role of entrepreneurship/innovations in technology development
and deployment; (2) increase students’ awareness of the impact of energy technology on society (e.g.
climate/environmental, economics/business, food/water) and the role of policies/regulations; and (3)
increase students’ global perspective, engage in interactive/collective learning and consider multiple
viewpoints. Students from different disciplines will be able to participate in the following domains:
science, engineering and technology, social sciences, business/management. They will learn about the
role of energy, technology and its impact on society, including the role of policy.
第二部分
The second part of this course (2 units or 36 hours of instructions) will examine sustainable energy
strategy by investigating important, current issues in the relationships between energy and environmental
policies and politics, including the connections with climate change. The energy strategies of individual
countries considered as a whole reflect the amassing of policy choices that will have significant impacts
on the environment. Decisions about energy matters are influenced by culture, politics, and economics.
The purpose of this course is to provide a basic background in the environmental, technological,
economic, and political aspects of energy systems. The prominent political choices underlying the diverse
approaches to energy policy will be outlined, and a framework will be provided for understanding the
1
evolving politics and strategies of energy policy. The argument will be developed that the shift to a more
sustainable energy path is impossible without significant policy intervention.
