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.
