Energy engineering is an exciting and unique undergraduate program which we going offer to meet energy crises by opening a new Department of Renewable Energy Engineering. degree is a first of its kind in the country with the curriculum addressing the call for the development of alternative sources of energy and conventional fossil fuels at the undergraduate level. More specifically, the program wi
ll incorporate elements of the old fuel Science undergraduate program with the addition of courses focused on renewable energy and agro-energy engineering as well as professional electives on business, finance and management. Graduate of the program will be able to understand engineering fundamentals and apply that knowledge to solving problems in the production, processing storage, distribution and utilization of energy using multiple techniques such as synthesis, analysis, design and case studies and to incorporate with the agricultural processes. This flexibility in curriculum will make it an attractive dual or concurrent major and minor option for students in other energy related programs as it prepares students to become valuable contributors in addressing society’s energy needs and demands particularly in the field of agriculture. In addition, the program will prepare students to be successful leaders in advancing the technology and management of energy; innovators and entrepreneurs in the energy sector; and educators, practicing engineers, and national leaders in the energy and associated environmental health and safety, policy and economic fields. It will train students to be lifelong learners, problem solvers, and energy industry leaders. The curriculum will be sufficiently flexible, broad, and diverse to enable students to tailor their educational experience to particular interests, background, and expected role in the field of agriculture and society. The flexibility allows students in energy related programs such as agricultural and biological, chemical, electrical, environmental, mechanical, nuclear, and petroleum engineering, material science and engineering, industrial health and safety, and business and finance to have dual or concurrent degrees, minors or options.
