Title: (Optional) Compare methods to conserve energy through technological modification.
Course: Technology and Engineering Foundations (21003-36) > Section: Using Energy as a Technological Resource

Comparison may consider the following methods:

- Identifying the type of energy to be conserved
- Exploring ways to modify the system to conserve energy
- Identifying techniques used to measure that energy
- Measuring the energy consumed by the technological system
- Calculating the energy saved by the modified system

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are common methods of conserving energy in a thermal system? A mechanical system? An electrical system? A fluidic system?
- What are some reasons that conservation of nonrenewable energy is important?
- Is conservation of unlimited energy ever important? Why or why not?
