Engineering Core
Consists of a minimum of 4 courses that prepare you to use engineering analysis methods to solve practical problems in industry. The variety of electives offered allow the student to customize their degree to fit their needs.
Business/Law Core
Consists of a minimum of 1 course designed to acquaint engineers, scientists and/or technologists with financial, managerial and legal/social issues that can help engineers succeed in today’s marketplace.
Elective Coursework
Consists of a minimum of 2 courses from energy engineering. Students may meet coursework requirements by completing the required courses listed above, as well as any of the approved elective courses, in consultation with their academic adviser. Elective courses may be taken on campus or online via distance learning. Several graduate offerings from the College of Engineering, the College of Business and Innovation, and the College of Law are available for selection. Students following the coursework only option may take up to 6-credit hours of approved independent study towards the 30-credit hours requirement. Students will find it possible to complete the degree requirements in five semesters or less, depending on academic backgrounds and course loads.
Work-related Project (6 credit hours)
If students choose the Project Option, they may complete the course requirements in four semesters by taking two recommended courses per semester and completing the project in one or two semesters. The 6-credit-hour project may be accomplished in coordination with the student’s employer utilizing skills learned in this program.
The work-related project should culminate in a deliverable, analytical formulation, simulation, or similar outcome. The student should work with an academic adviser from the College of Engineering. The adviser can be selected by the student, or the student can request assistance from the directors of the program to find an adviser.
Employer counsel or participation in the project is recommended. At the conclusion of the project, a written document should be prepared, with a page limit to be determined by the adviser and student. The document should contain a bibliography that uses a standard citation format agreed upon by the adviser and student. The document will be written using the available Online Template for Projects. Students should consult their adviser regarding this option.
