Energy Engineering Minor Technical Electives
Twelve credits of technical electives are required for the Energy Engineering Minor. You can select these twelve credits from the courses listed below.
In addition, there may be special topics / new courses offered which are suitable for the requirements of this minor. Contact the Energy Engineering Minor faculty director, Dr. Michael Walker, for information about whether a specific course can serve as a technical elective for the minor.
You may also petition to count up to three credits of an energy-related independent study toward the requirements of the minor. To do so, you must submit a petition to the Energy Engineering Minor committee for review. The petition must include a detailed description of a project you are planning, how it relates to energy engineering, as well as a list of deliverables to be completed during the independent study. Petitions may be submitted to the committee via by emailing the faculty director.
