Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE) is a four-week summer course for high school students who would like to learn more about sustainable energy technologies and the field of engineering. Students will either live in the residence halls or commute to campus from home; a full list of locations can be found at https://ei.jhu.edu/programs/see-in-person/. The course will run from June 30 to July 25, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be training and preparation required of teachers ahead of the first day of class and course close-out after the course ends. SEE covers a range of fundamental topics. It begins by discussing the impact of energy in our daily lives, then moves on to discuss generation, transmission, distribution, and storage. The course provides an overview of hydropower, wind, biomass, and solar energy as well as energy use in transportation and buildings. Students also learn the basics of energy economics and planning before they complete a final project. The course includes hands-on lab experiments and group data analysis. Students have the opportunity to earn three credits from Johns Hopkins University. Ultimately, the goal of the course is to expose students to engineering principles, allow them to apply the math and science they learn in high school to solving real world problems, and to help students develop critical thinking skills.
