Designed to provide students with professional experiences, regardless of their major. Students will develop their professional network alongside a mentor at a Treasure Valley employer. Time spent on site with employers and in a weekly class session. The class sessions are designed to unpack what the students are learning on the job, attend interactive workshops, engage with dynamic guest leaders from partner employers, and learn skills that translate directly to a professional setting. No more than 12 credits of Work U and/or internship may be applied towards graduation requirements.
Schedule: 3:00-4:15 pm We
Delivery: In Person
How do we design and operate buildings that will produce as much energy as they consume? Students will learn the principles of integrated design and how to use energy modeling to estimate building energy consumption. Guest lectures from professors at UI and BSU will provide students with the tools needed to calculate solar, wind, and hydro resources to power buildings. This course will be available live in-person (in Boise) and through online recordings. PREREQ: ME 321
