Course Title: | Energy Informatics |
Course Description: | Energy Informatics involves analyzing, designing, and
implementing systems to increase the efficiency of energy demand
and supply systems. This requires the collection and analysis of
data used to optimize energy distribution and consumption
networks. Students will leverage the necessary information
systems competencies and multi-disciplinary knowledge to
increase societal energy efficiency. |

Honor Code Reference: | "A Culture of Honesty" is the University of Georgia's policy
about academic honesty. Every student who enrolls at the
University agrees to be bound by the policy. This means that
each student has a responsibility to read the policy and comply
with it. It's no defense to a charge of academic dishonesty to
say, "I didn't know that was prohibited." Students must perform
their entire academic work without plagiarizing, cheating,
lying, tampering, stealing, receiving assistance from others
(unless the faculty member authorizes that assistance) or using
sources to assist in that work (without giving fair
attribution). [Source: "A Culture of Honesty at The University
of Georgia," a pamphlet published by the UGA Office of the Vice
President for Instruction]. |
