Practice of Energy and Environment Education through Student Laboratory in Electrical Engineering

It is well known that consumption of all energies in the world leads to environmental degradation. In terms of using electricity, the emission of CO2 by steam power generation is serious problem. It is therefore considered that the education with regard to relationship between environment and electric energy consumption is important for student in college or university. This paper describes the development of study system of power system interconnection and photo voltaics, the modification of study system of lighting which has been ever practiced in Ube national college of technology. It is expected that the consciousness between energy and environment of students who has experienced student laboratory will be changed. It is considered from the results of questionnaire survey and comments of students that this educational system will be useful for some of students who are studying electrical engineering to increase the consciousness with regard to the problem between electric energy consumption and environment.
