Graduate Program
Sustainable Energy Cluster
The sustainable energy concentration is for students who want a solid technical foundation in the fundamental principles of sustainable energy production and use. Through the recommended concentration courses, students will acquire an in-depth understanding of the scientific and engineering principles central to various sustainable energy technologies and will develop tools to evaluate their economic feasibilities.
Students will also have the opportunity to delve deeper into specific energy technologies in specialized elective courses. The degree can be tailored for students from a broad range of academic majors, including engineering disciplines and the life and physical sciences.
To complete the sustainable energy cluster, students are required to select from the following electives in addition to the MS core classes in thermodynamics, kinetics, transport phenomena and advanced mathematics.
