About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in 3D printing and renewable energy. She's here to talk about the exciting new course, "Advanced Certificate in 3D Printing for Renewable Geothermal Energy." Dr. Smith, can you tell us what inspired you to create this program? GUEST: Absolutely, the potential of 3D printing in geothermal energy is immense. I wanted to create a course that would equip engineers, researchers, and professionals with the skills to harness this potential. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current industry trends that this course addresses? GUEST: Sure, additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is becoming increasingly popular in sustainable energy solutions. This course focuses on its application in geothermal energy, teaching professionals how to design and print heat exchangers and geothermal power plant components. HOST: What are some challenges faced in the field or while learning/teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the limited understanding of 3D printing materials and their properties. In this course, we address this by providing hands-on experience with various 3D printing materials. HOST: That's a great approach. Looking to the future, where do you see this area or industry heading? GUEST: I believe 3D printing will play a significant role in geothermal energy exploration and well construction. This course aims to equip professionals with the expertise needed to advance in this exciting field. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for your insights and for sharing your knowledge with us today. This course sounds like a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to make a difference in the renewable energy sector. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure.
