Undergraduate Engineering Thermodynamics is centered on thermomechanical processes. This focus connects to the root of thermodynamics, but has become increasingly difficult to motivate as green energy rises. Thoughts?

I attended a Scialog meeting at Tuscon from 9/4 to 9/7, where I met fantastic colleagues and leaders in the field of sustainable materials. From 7 AM to 10 PM, we ceaselessly discussed what we can do for our society and derived many interesting ideas!

Going through lecture notes on moist air and see this sentence: Humans feel comfortable at a temperature from 22 °C to 27 °C (72 F to 80 F) and a relative humidity from 40% to 60%. I looked at the Weather App. The day has reached perfection: 76 F and 56%.

A young academic told me--with a smile--that he had an epiphany: Academic jobs are bad enough that he is no longer worried about not getting tenure. Is the feeling common?
