these energy resources Explain the thermodynamic constraint of energy conversion List the engines used in land sea and air transportations as well as in the generation of electricity Explain how the consumption of fossil fuels enables our modern lives Discuss environmental effects of energy generation in Hong Kong and the world 4 AFTER THIS COURSE you will gain TRANSFERABLE COMPETENCIES Analytical ability Critical thinking INTERDISCIPLINARY COURSE a mixture of social and natural science ABOUT THE COURSE This is NOT a typical physics course where you need to solve advanced equations but knowledge of basic physics concept such as kinetic energy potential energy Ohm s law Newton s laws etc are expected Observations Issue Analysis Conclusion data calculation numbers Conclusion and Decision based on evidence Data Scientific Thinking We live at a time when emotions and feelings count more than truth and there is a vast ignorance of science James Lovelock 6 TEACHING MATERIALS
