The operation of the UF IAC is integrated
into the curriculum of both the Department of Industrial and Systems
Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Industrial and Systems Engineering Department
Curriculum
The ISE Department presently teaches a course once each year on
Industrial Energy Management and operates an Energy Management Laboratory.
This course, EIN 4321, is taught by the UF IAC faculty.
The UF IAC complements existing courses and strengthens
the energy efficiency research and education program at the University
of Florida.
The UF IAC operation also provides ISE students
an opportunity to perform their required Senior Design Project on
energy efficiency and energy management at a company interested
in improving their energy productivity. In addition, the ISE department
offers a Special Topics course EIN 4905 that students can use for
individual study on topics related to the UF IAC operation.
Case Studies
To further incorporate the IAC experience into engineering courses,
illustrative examples and case
studies have been prepared from the energy audits and analyses, as well as problems
and class projects, to define possibilities of short and long range
energy efficiency improvements of industrial processes.
