Program Overview

Energy Technology Program

The Energy Technology Program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of energy-related issues, including climate change, energy efficiency, and sustainable development. The program aims to cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving, and management skills in students, enabling them to contribute to the development of sustainable energy solutions.

Program Description

The program is a cross-disciplinary program that combines courses from various colleges and departments, including the College of Science, College of Engineering, College of Biological Resources and Agriculture, College of Life Sciences, and College of Electrical and Information Engineering. The program is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of energy-related issues, including energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainable development.

Course Planning and Application

The program's course planning is overseen by the Global Change Research Center's advisory committee. Students who wish to enroll in the program must meet the following requirements:

• Students must take at least 20 credits of courses from the program's course plan.
• Students must take at least 3 credits from each of the four course groups: Global Change, New Energy, Carbon Reduction, and Green Management.
• At least 9 credits must not be part of the student's major or minor requirements.
• The program is open to students with formal academic status at the university.
• The program has a limited enrollment of 30 students per semester.
• Students who wish to enroll in the program must submit an application form, along with their transcript, to the program's administrative unit.
