Energy Engineering Minor
GOALS
To provide depth and understanding in the diverse field of Energy Engineering that goes beyond the depth and breadth covered in the 131 credit LTU BSME program.
- To educate students in Energy Engineering includes alternative (renewable) energy sources, traditional (fossil fuel) energy sources, nuclear energy, energy management and conservation.
- To help meet global needs with energy educated engineers who can address the issues related to energy and the supply and demand balance of global fossil fuel resources.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IN ENERGY ENGINEERING
Current working professionals who hold a BS technical degree in Engineering or the Natural Sciences are eligible to enroll in the Energy Engineering Certificate program. The Energy Engineering Certificate requires the completion the 18 credits with the same three required core course, and permits the student to take three elective courses from the approved list. Students must apply to LTU for admission to the certificate program and will be admitted only after review and approval from the Mechanical Engineering Department Chair.
