3. Objectives:

The first objective of the course is to make students familiar with the basics of clean and
renewable energy technologies. The second objective is to give students hands-on exposure
to energy systems and key instrumentation, operation of equipment, device fabrication and
characterization, data acquisition, and data analysis. The students will be able to know and
differentiate between various types of clean energy systems. They will be able to conduct
basic experiments related to efficiency calculations in energy systems.
