RESUMO
Currently, the Energy, with economic, technological, social and environmental value, has been studied through an essentially reductionist form. In other words, separating it from its context, subdividing it into parts and isolating each one of them. The economic demands were separated from the demands of nature, and from this environmental problems have elapsed. The reductionist approach overcomes the energetic domain and affects the modern society in general. In the beginning of the XX century, the reductionist scientific thought started to collapse mainly with the discoveries of Modern Physics and a new paradigm emerged with great force. Called systemic or complex, this paradigm is born not just because of theoretical aspects but, above all, because of practical aspects. This work examines the aspect of Energy in a complex approach. With this, a new approach for the interactions of Energy with the biosphere, the social sphere and the economical sphere, will be shown. With this it is possible to evaluate the technological, economical and political aspects better. The new paradigm can be transmitted, mainly, through Education. The following study applies this new concept in one of the basic subjects in the Electrical Engineering course of the Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo: PEA 2200 - Energy, Environment and Sustainability.
