Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.

Overview

Throughout its history, the Department of Energy’s Office of Science has designed, constructed, and operated many of the Nation’s most advanced, large-scale research and development user facilities, of importance to all areas of science.   These state-of-the-art facilities are shared with the science community worldwide and contain technologies and instrumentation that are available nowhere else.  As the steward of America’s national laboratories, the Department of Energy has a special responsibility to plan for and propose Office of Science investments for the future that will serve to advance the national, energy, and economic security of the United States.

In this course the student will learn about the state-of-the art, cutting edge efforts by scientists and engineers in the United States who are involved with research to continue to find alternate energy sources for the future.  These energy sources will be of vital importance to sustaining and improving the quality of life on planet earth and beyond.  The student will learn that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) leads the world in the conception, design, construction, and operation of these large-scale devices. The student will learn that these machines have enabled U.S. researchers to make some of history’s important scientific discoveries, with spin-off technological advances leading to entirely new industries.

The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Facilities for the Future of Science – A Twenty Year Outlook, Office of Science – US DOE Publication:  DOE/SC-0078 – Revised December 2003.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
