Program Overview

Energy Engineering Program

The Energy Engineering program offers professional training at the doctoral and master's degree levels, designed to prepare students to perform state-of-the-art research and design work on energy systems. The program is administered through the Francis College of Engineering at UMass Lowell, with options in Renewable (Solar) Engineering and Nuclear Engineering. The Renewable (Solar) Engineering option is administered through the Mechanical & Industrial Engineering Department, while the Nuclear Engineering option is administered through the Chemical Engineering Department. The program also offers a Bachelor's-Master's program and participates in the Graduate Master's Co-op Option in Engineering. The program's curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of energy systems, including renewable energy, nuclear energy, and energy efficiency. The program's learning outcomes include the ability to design and develop energy systems, conduct research in energy engineering, and communicate complex energy concepts to diverse audiences. The program's faculty includes renowned experts in energy engineering, with research areas including renewable energy, nuclear energy, and energy efficiency. The program's research areas include solar energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, and energy storage. The program's curriculum includes courses in energy systems, renewable energy, nuclear energy, and energy efficiency, as well as electives in areas such as energy policy and energy economics. The program's degree pathways include a Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Energy Engineering. The program's admission criteria include a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, such as engineering or physics, and a strong academic record. The program's tuition fees are competitive with other graduate programs in energy engineering. The program's accreditation is through the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE).
