LLPCSIOCEAN - Renewable Ocean Energy with the Coastal Studies Institute

Course Description

The Coastal Studies Institute (CSI) is currently leading a research program which focuses on capturing energy from ocean waves and currents to create usable electricity. This educational program highlights the work done by the Institute, and provides students with hands-on activities that teach them scientific concepts used in electricity and ocean processes. Students will explore the same concepts used to in power generation from ocean waves and currents.

Students will learn about CSI's mission to extract energy from ocean waves, currents and tides. Participants will view technology used in ocean research, participate in a series of activities to understand the process of harnessing power from the ocean and learn the basics of oceanographic processes.
