Any student not complying with minimum grade requirements will prompt a review of that student's academic standing and may result in their dismissal from the program.
Professionals who hold a BS degree in Engineering or the Natural Sciences (primarily chemistry or physics) are eligible to enroll in the Graduate Certificate in Energy Engineering program.
Please note that this is a graduate certificate (not a degree). The courses offered in this program, however, are all College of Engineering technical electives and can typically be used as technical electives in the pursuit of an undergraduate BS in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, and most of the 5000 level courses may be used towards a MS in Mechanical Engineering degree.
All potential students must apply to 利记sbo for admission to the Certificate in Energy Engineering program and will be admitted only after review and approval from the Energy Engineering Program Director.
Students enrolled in the Certificate in Energy Engineering program must formally petition to the 利记sbo Office of the Registrar to receive their certificate upon completing the program. Contact the 利记sbo Office of the Registrar for details regarding petitioning.
