Curriculum answers a variety of questions on mitigation, adapting, and dealing with unexpected impacts
What is the role of engineering to solve the climate change
challenge?
How does a power plant
work?
How much do we consume, and how does this relate to
electricity?
What new building designs can be done?
What can you do to mitigate the
impacts of climate change?
What careers could you have?
Why is policy needed?
Where & how is electricity generated?
5
EPP PhD students are writing student centered lessons that fill gaps in knowledge and correct misconceptions
Lessons are technically accurate and understandable
Activities include afternoon field trips
Differentiated instruction may be created

The summer school will wrap up with a debate on topics discussed throughout the week, led by Alan Jenn • There will be 3 to 4 debates that will be
approximately 25 to 30 minutes in length
• Each debate will be between 2 groups of 2 to 3 students consisting of an “affirmative” and “negative” group
• A panel of 3 judges will also act as arbiters for timing purposes
