Both my classes for the Spring 2012 are Restricted Electives (RE). Enrollment for all 4 RE's this semester will be coordinated. All students interested in taking an RE this semester need to fill-out an application as discussed in class. Syllabi for both classes can be downloaded from these links. After Add/Drops I will use METU-Online for these classes.

Clean energy is a very broad area and any list of classes is very subjective. The following is based on classes relevant to areas that I work in or am interested in (please email me if you know of other classes to add to this list):

1. AE 495: Wind Energy and Wind Turbine Technology
2. BS 716: Principles of Green Building Design and Delivery (BS = Building Sciences)
3. EE 710: Electricity Marketing (Includes economic and energy policy content)
4. ME 403: Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration*
5. ME 405: Energy Conversion Systems
6. ME 422: Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration System Design*
7. ME 421: Steam Generator and Heat Exchanger Design
8. ME 424: Steam Power Plant Engineering
9. ME 476: Second Law Analysis of Engineering Systems
10. ME 478: Introduction to Solar Energy Utilization
11. ME 492: Fuel Cell Fundamentals
12. ME 514: Advanced Solar Energy Utilization

*ME 403 & 422 are revelant for the design and operation of High Performance Buildings, which are also called Green Buildings, Low Energy Buildings, Zero Energy Buildings, etc..

Three Time Recipient of METU Educator of the Year Award: Awarded to ~ 1% of faculty at METU each year. The winners are selected by a jury from a pool of faculty with the highest student evaluations.

1. 2010-11 METU Educator of the Year
2. 2005-6 METU Educator of the Year
3. 2003-4 METU Educator of the Year

Development of an active engineering student exchange program between METU and The University of Texas-Austin (Texas) and The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State). The initial focus in on bringing Texas and Penn State students to METU through a 4^th year technical elective class on fuel cells. The program goals are 1) to give engineering students experience working in a global engineering environment, and 2) to encourage students to pursue careers related to clean energy conversion technologies.

Co-authored integrated learning system for undergraduate engineering thermodynamic courses: Textbook (512 pages); Web site (490 interactive pages); Solution Manual (450 Problems); Classroom Slides (381 Slides); Interactive Educational Graphics (29); Educational Video Clips (5). This learning system was published by John Wiley (2006) and translated into Korean (2008). The first version of the web site (ThermoNet V1) has been published as a online resource with Wiley's other undergraduate thermodynamic textbooks since 2001.
