Energy & Sustainability Engineering

Program Overview

The College of Engineering initiative in Energy and Sustainability Engineering (EaSE) has four goals:

• To promote interdisciplinary research that joins the fields of science, engineering, environment and policy.
• To provide education and training for the global workforce.
• To engage industrial partners in the research and educational missions of the university.
• To link efforts within the College to complementary programs on campus.

Energy engineering refers to the development of technologies for energy harvesting, conversion, transmission and use that are highly efficient and sustainable in future generations.

Sustainability engineering refers to the development of technologies that provide the necessities for civil society and the infrastructure for commerce in efficient and renewable ways that minimize adverse impact on the earth system.

The topics of energy and sustainability are highly interrelated; a leading example is bioenergy, which has major implications concerning land, water, atmosphere, and sustainability.
