Energy Engineering Graduate Certificate
With the rapid dwindling of energy resources, there is a great demand for workers in various fields to keep themselves abreast of the latest technology in solving and planning for the energy shortage and efficient use of energy.
This interdisciplinary Certificate in Energy Engineering program is open to post-baccalaureate students who are interested in continuing education for career development or gaining experience in the energy area. In particular, the program will provide basic knowledge on the design of electrical and mechanical devices and systems and yet has adequate flexibility for students to focus on certain areas in energy according to their own discretion in advanced courses.
