Clean Energy Day

Green power and energy generation is the practice of producing energy in a way that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Meeting the world's needs for electricity, heating, cooling, and power for transport in a green way is widely considered to be one of the most significant challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. In general, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy are widely considered to be green.

Goals

LSU Clean Energy Day aims to increase public awareness about green power and energy generation and also provide students with a clear vision of potential careers and research paths they can choose in this field. This event provides a unique opportunity for students with different educational levels and backgrounds to communicate and learn from each other about the field of green power and energy generation. It will help high school students to gain a better vision of clean energy and power systems and career opportunities in this field. Also, undergraduate students will learn the advantages of pursuing their higher education in power and energy systems. Additionally, graduate students will learn possible research opportunities from their peers.

Poster Symposium

Three competition categories

  • High School Students: to prepare posters using their intuition and own vision about power and energy systems.
  • Undergraduate Students: to select relevant topics, conduct online research, and prepare posters based on that.
