USF Energy
Production Systems Engineering Course – EIN 4933, EIN 6936
The Purpose of the Energy Production Systems
Engineering Course is to provide an overview of the electric power generation
process and the role the engineer plays in the power generation process. This course will provide information on the
various equipment types, plant process systems and technologies needed for
electric power generation. This course
will also present some of the engineering tasks performed by the power plant
engineer. Field trips to power
generation facilities are provided as part of this course. Below are course materials. More
materials will be posted as they become available.

Homework Materials -
The homework is our practical application learning tool and peer review
and feedback is strongly encouraged. I strongly encourage students to
review their homework with other students and to provide me with early copy
so I can review and provide feedback well before due date. Homework
submitted before due date can be re-submitted for better grade as long as
re-submit is by due date.
You can email your homework to me at tom@thomasblairpe.com
or thblair@tecoenergy.com
Answer PDF will be replaced with Solution PDF with worked out Answers
day after homework is due.
