ACCREDITED ENGINEERING PROGRAMS

All our undergraduate engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, a nonprofit, non-governmental agency that accredits college and university programs in the disciplines of applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology.

Energy Business and Finance Major

The solutions to society's existing and emerging energy challenges require interdisciplinary approaches integrating economics and business with the technical knowledge of energy systems and implications for our environment. That's where Energy Business and Finance experts come in.

Online Undergraduate Programs

EME offers two online undergraduate degree programs: B.A. and a B.S. in Energy and Sustainability Policy (ESP). The ESP program is one of the few online programs in the country that focuses specifically on policy within the realm of energy and sustainability.

CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH

EME assembles experts from a wide variety of disciplines and all areas of energy in a single department. Collectively, our research programs are focused on harnessing research to have an impact on industrial practice, public policies, and a more efficient and sustainable future.
