INT 166 - Energy & Society (FYS) (1)

Our society depends on a variety of energy sources to power our devices, heat our homes, and fuel our transportation. Where has energy come from in the past, and what are options for the future? What are the impacts of our energy use, and how has energy use changed over time? In this course, we will investigate these questions and develop an understanding of the connections between energy use and standard of living, both in the United States and in countries around the world. In addition, in order to support you in developing skills and habits that will promote your success in college, we will examine what scientists have discovered about how people learn and practice strategies that support effective learning.
