What is Energy Engineering?
Water vapor: the only exhaust emitted by a new Japanese car set to be sold in 2015. The secret lies in the technology used to obtain energy: instead of carbon fuels and oil, it runs on hydrogen. The impact on technology, society, and the environment will be immense. What once seemed like the distant future is today’s reality, and the revolution is in the hands of people like you.
Energy engineers seek to identify and develop the energy today to power tomorrow. This field provides you opportunities to work in generation and utilization projects of conventional and unconventional energy sources. Energy and mining ventures, along with industries specialized in trade and services are waiting for you to develop your skills. Explore and profit from your inner energy.

Edison and Tesla were embroiled in a battle known as the ‘War of the Currents’. Both inventors defended the use of two different types of current.
ALTERNATING CURRENT
Alternating currents and voltages are sinusoidal and vary with time
DIRECT CURRENT
It does not change with time
He arrived in New York where he worked for Thomas Alva Edison.

Edison wanted to electrify the entire United States with his DC. Tesla did not agree.
After strong disagreements, Tesla resigned and formed his own company:
Free from Edison, Tesla patented a series of alternating-current generators.
