Energy Engineering Certificate

[ List of All Engineering Certificate Programs ]

The objective of the Energy Engineering Certificate is to better prepare undergraduate students to face the challenges of world energy supply and demand and how to ensure a sustainable energy future. The program will educate engineering majors and suitably prepared science majors about all energy sources, their development, generation, conversion, transmission, and use; with an emphasis on the importance to of improving the standard of living for all people while at the same time preserving and improving the environment.

To earn the Energy Engineering Certificate, a student must complete a minimum of 13 semester credit hours which includes one required course (ENGR 101 - Energy: Resources, Utilization and Importance to Society) and three additional courses to be selected from a specified list of approved courses. An overall GPA of 3.0 must be achieved to be awarded the certificate. The certificate is recorded on the student’s permanent transcript upon successful completion.
