2026 marine Energy Short course: Introduction to Marine Energy
One-week on-site short course training composed of tutorials and hands-on mini-projects for undergraduate and graduate students. There will be five full days of intensive training with a hands-on mini project that builds on the morning lecture sessions each day. This short course will introduce energy, energy conversion, and renewable energies (day 1), followed by two days focused on current energy production (days 2-3), a day on wave energy conversion (day 4), and finally a day on OTEC (day 5). Participating in this workshop will provide an understanding of the energy available in marine renewable energy resources and how these can be converted to electricity, as well as the latest developments in the marine renewable energy field.
2026 MarinE energy specialized short course: Ocean thermal energy conversion
One-week (5 day) on-site short course training for undergraduate and graduate students composed of tutorials and hands-on mini-projects. By the end of the short course, participants will understand the challenges of developing and implementing Ocean Thermal Energy systems; learn the fundamental physics of how open-cycle, closed cycle, and hybrid cycle Ocean Thermal Energy plants operate; learn the practical aspects of how these systems can be built through the construction and testing of mini Ocean Thermal Energy plants; and understand how this can be done at a commercial scale. Includes lectures and hands-on activities.
