Renewable Energies and Sustainable Living 

Past students varied in age from 18 to their 80s and from HVAC technician, facilities manager, builder, architect and engineer to interested citizen, consumer and career trainee. 

The Renewable Energies and Energy Management courses were used as a basis for a national model energy curriculum designed with Department of Energy funds (www.ateec.org/energy) .  The creator and instructor of those OCC courses, Dr. Debra Rowe, was the chief author for that national model curriculum.  Dr. Rowe has been consulting with colleges throughout the U.S., helping them set up similar courses and programs in cooperation with PETE (www.ateec.org/pete), a national consortium of community colleges focusing on environmental technologies. (She is also President of the U.S. Partnership for Education for Sustainable Development (www.uspartnership.org).
