Energy Engineering Minor
GOALS
To provide depth and understanding in the diverse field of Energy Engineering that goes beyond the depth and breadth covered in the 131 credit LTU BSME program.
- To educate students in Energy Engineering includes alternative (renewable) energy sources, traditional (fossil fuel) energy sources, nuclear energy, energy management and conservation.
- To help meet global needs with energy educated engineers who can address the issues related to energy and the supply and demand balance of global fossil fuel resources.
