Welcome
Energy"A hands-on course which asks the question, “What do we do when we run out of oil?” Al1 common forms of energy use are examined spanning from 1988 to the present. Alternative energies are examined including Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Biomass; and Hydro generate. Students will be introduced to the 1973 E.E.S. Computer (Energy-Environment Simulator), and try to save the simulated world from a life-ending energy crisis. Students learn how to operate and run steam engines, then produce electricity with their steam engine power plant. Finally, students will learn about internal-combustion engines, and run them in the lab. Projects include: Internal-Combustion Thermal Dynamics Lab, Steam-Engine Power-plant, and the E.E.S. Machine."

Heading Level 3
Mr. Strain is the best engineering teacher that this county has ever seen, we'll be disappointed to see him go. Especially when engineering is a, well the only, subject in PGCPS that HAS NO CURRICULUM! So, If you would like to hear my further thoughts about this...please go to......my facebook.Heading Level 3
