Abstract

The energy crisis has forced a search for renewable resources. As a consequence, the number of workers in renewable energy is increasing. However, engineering schools have not responded to the increased demand. The aim of this research was to explore the teaching of renewable energy (RE) at school. A pre-test survey was conducted for students, while information from school management and industry was collected through interviews. The results showed that it is necessary to teach RE in engineering schools. One integrated model also has been proposed, to reveal the use of various media in RE education. © 2018 WIETE.
