Energy Engineering, B.S.

Graduates of the energy engineering program will understand the fundamental science and math relevant to energy production, distribution, regulation and end use. They will be able to apply engineering concepts, calculations and computer models to solve problems and analyze designs in these areas. The graduates will participate in a multi-year energy project, in which they address engineering project issues, such as allocating resources, meeting milestones and solving specific engineering problems. Graduates will have basic knowledge in business and accounting to identify an appropriate balance of business and technical issues.
