Experiences with a technical elective course, ME 4353/6353 Alternate Energy Systems, are delineated. Alternate Energy Systems (AES) was devised for senior and beginning graduate students in mechanical engineering (ME) and presents a first-order introduction to the plethora of alternate energy technologies now considered as available, viable, or promising. The AES course covers basic principles, economic considerations, application potentials, and advantages and disadvantages of a variety of alternate energy technologies. The course topics, contents, and goals are discussed in detail in the paper. After two offering, the AES course meets the stated purpose of the course and has become a popular elective even though the workload and effort required are significant.

As the renewable energies become more and more popular due to the conflicts between economic development and environment, not only the utilities but also the residential consumers start to think about installing alternate and renewable generations. For residential use, the renewable energy sources can provide alternate energy resource in case of outages as well as save the utility bills. This paper is to provide suggestions for residential installation of renewable and alternate energy based on technical and commercial feasibility analysis and give the recommendations on installing wind energy, PV system and energy saving tips.
