Interdisciplinary Minor in Energy Engineering
ODU is now offering an Interdisciplinary Minor in Energy Engineering:
Managing our energy resources in the context of growing population, increasing technology and rising global middle class, and climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing us in the 21st century. Learn foundational knowledge and skills to better understand this key area from a technical and systems perspective by taking the Energy Engineering Interdisciplinary Minor.
The Energy Engineering Minor will (1) expose students to energy engineering fundamentals and a system approach to energy systems and their sociological, economic, and environmental impacts, (2) enhance students’ ability to integrate knowledge in relation to various energy technologies and primary resource vectors such as fossil, nuclear, and renewables, both physical and bio-chemical, and (3) expose students to novel energy engineering concepts and technologies such as smart grids, integrated generation systems, storage, transmission, and distribution systems.
