Design Engineering of Energy & Mineral Engineering Systems Students in this class work in teams to address a contemporary issue in science and engineering. At the initiation of a project, the teams compile concept maps to define the critical inter-relationships within the task, redefine the task as necessary, and then proceed to complete a workable solution. Some examples of recent projects are given below: Fall 2004 - Offshore Methane Hydrates: Their Optimal Recovery and Utilization Team I - An Assessment of Methane Hydrate Recovery and Processing at Hydrate Ridge George Alexander, Masoud Almarri, Esra Eren, Elise Fox, Deepa Narayanan Team II - Offshore Methane Hydrates: Optimal Recovery and Utilization Yanming Gong, Venkata Pradeep Indrakanti, Peter Perez, Scott Powers, Ramya Venkataraman Team III - Optimal Recovery of Methane Hydrates of the Hydrate Ridge, Offshore Oregon Prabhat Naredi, Marielle Narkiewicz, James Strohm, Uthaiporn Suriyapraphadilok, Bei Wang, Yu Zhang
