Abstract
Alternative Energy Technology attracts more and more attention as evidenced by the tremendous
amount of investment from the federal government, automotive industry, and fuel cell
/photovoltaic cell manufacturers. To advance the search for solutions to the world’s most
pressing energy problems and to prepare our future Connecticut workforce for the emerging
alternative energy technology field, University of Bridgeport (UB) has provided a graduate level
course, Alternative Energy Technology. This course is related to chemistry, electronics, and
mechanics and the graduate students are with different engineering background. The challenges
in the teaching are addressed and the possible solutions are given in this paper. Moreover, the
teaching experience in this course is helpful for the licensure application for a new M.S.
program, Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE) in the school of Engineering at UB.
