NAU Energy Literacy Project: Assessing student priorities to inform educational goals By Candice Giffin Political Science and Environmental Studies ’14 Institute for Sustainable Energy Solutions Northern Arizona University Advisor Karin Wadsack

Project Goals 1.Increase awareness and improve the understanding of energy efficiency and renewable energy systems at the university 2.Identify and assess student interests in energy to better inform university administration

Project Overview 50-minute presentations to 9 introductory engineering classes Covered watts/kilowatts, value of energy efficiency, campus renewable energy projects, statewide energy standards, ISES research, student opportunities Conducted survey asking students what they learned and wanted to learn more about (212 total participants) Analyzed and recorded data for research presentation and dissemination

Why is this important? Energy will always be in demand Being informed means making better educated decisions for the future; better policies and more innovation Self-awareness of own actions Survey results have the potential to shape university goals and priorities Source: Northern Arizona University

Utilized multi-step qualitative coding process to identify patterns Divided surveys into 7 energy related categories of interest Divided surveys into 6 non-energy related categories of interest Utilized multi-step qualitative coding process to identify patterns Divided surveys into 7 energy related categories of interest Divided surveys into 6 non-energy related categories of interest Data and Analysis Source: Candice Giffin

“I would like to see the total amount of energy NAU uses and how much NAU conserves.” 92% of respondents expressed an interest in learning more about energy “I am still curious about how to get involved because this is something I want to do in my future.” “How can students make an impact now?” “I want to know more about the other research projects happening on campus, and if those projects can be incorporated into the engineering curriculum.” Conclusions “How is energy collected and distributed throughout buildings and cities?” “I’m curious to see how energy production will change in the next 15 years.”

Conclusions cont.
