A great complement to students majoring in science or engineering programs, the Energy Systems Engineering Minor prepares them for entry-level positions in many sectors of the energy industry, graduate school, government service, and life-long learning and professional development.

Students gain a knowledge of energy systems in the areas of resources, generation, transmission, utilization and environmental impact. They also build introductory social and economic analysis experience involving both renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, as well as have opportunities to address global environmental and sustainability issues related to energy.
