Engineering breakthroughs in energy and the environment will shape our future society. The Energy Technologies and Sustainability concentration is designed for undergraduate engineering students to acquire a fundamental understanding of the environmental impacts of various energy technologies and put them in a position to pursue a career in green technology.\u00a0The diverse elective courses will include the analysis of recent environmental policy; the electro-chemistry of fuel cells and battery cells; the planning, operation and marketing of sustainable power systems; and the emergence of sustainable energy as the defining environmental challenge of our time. As the engineering discipline of energy and environment continues to grow, students with a specialized background in this concentration will be well-prepared for this emerging field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The 12-unit concentration is available to students in any of the College of Engineering\u2019s bachelor\u2019s degree programs. The concentration is noted on students’ official transcripts and will prepare students for careers in clean energy, energy conversion and environmentally sustainable systems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is recommended that students interested in pursuing a Concentration in Energy Technologies and Sustainability\u00a0declare<\/a> their concentration as early as possible in their degree program in order to facilitate course planning, but in no case later than May 1 of a student’s junior year. Course requirements are found below,\u00a0in addition to details regarding the required experience component.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 1. A sequence of three courses (12 units) consisting of one required course and two additional courses chosen from the following list. Students are expected to have the prerequisites necessary to complete all concentration courses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Required Electives<\/strong>\u00a0(Complete at least one; both can be taken.) Additional Courses<\/strong>\u00a0(Choose remaining courses from the list below.) No more than one of the following courses can be applied:<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n *CAS EE 250<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 The Fate of Nations: Climate, Resources and Institutions Note: * QST SI 453, and CAS EE 250, 304, 309 and 545 cannot be used to satisfy a Technical, Advanced, or Professional Elective requirement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Please note that courses required (by name\/number) for the student\u2019s major cannot<\/strong> also be counted towards the three courses applied to fulfill the concentration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 2.
