- RMIT university in Melbourne is conducting research into the incorporation
- of energy issues into tertiary education curriculum and energy use on
- campus.
-
- As the projects Research Assistant I am seeking to compile information
- regarding these two areas of energy in tertiary institutions across the
- world.
-
- Topics covered in course curriculum could include for example:
- % Energy efficiency and conservation
- % Environmental and social impacts of energy
- % Energy economics / cost
- % Energy management
- % Renewable and alternative energy
- % Energy use
- % Design for energy efficiency
-
- I am specifically seeking to identify examples of curriculum materials and
- activities such as research projects, guest speakers, field visits and
- information sources used, but am also interested in finding out what
- contexts are set for students. ie. Why is energy conservation worth
- pursuing?
-
- In addition, I am seeking information regarding any work that has been
- undertaken which looks at the actual energy consumption of tertiary
- institutions and at ways of reducing this consumption.
-
- If anyone has information or relevant contacts in either of these two areas
- I would appreciate hearing from them either through my E-mail address or by
- sending material to me via the postal address below.
-
- Thanks!
