Es imperativo conocer a profundidad los pros y contras de las diferentes tecnologías energéticas para minimizar el impacto negativo en el propio entorno al seleccionar, usar, racionalizar y aprovechar las energías empleadas en el diario quehacer.

El participante desarrollará competencias de análisis y juicio crítico ante la selección de un recurso energético, elaborando un discurso consciente y fundamentado donde se considere el entorno y sus recursos.
El participante podrá predecir para las tecnologías de producción energética:

  • Capacidades;
  • Eficiencias y rendimientos;
  • Indicadores de la huella ecológica.

What you'll learn
A través de este curso lograrás:

  • Analizar las formas en que se manifiesta la energía en diferentes situaciones de la vida diaria y del quehacer industrial tomando una postura a favor de la diversificación en la producción de la energía;
  • Elegir un recurso energético a través de un análisis crítico de las energías limpias y convencionales para utilizar, racionalizar y aprovechar las energías dentro de su comunidad.
