Energy systems engineering students examine topics like environmental engineering, sustainability, renewable energy, and public policy issues relevant to energy conversion systems. At the University of Wyoming, the ESE degree program considers both technical engineering issues, as well as other practical aspects of energy utilization and implementation not typically covered in engineering education.
Mechanical engineering is the broadest of all engineering disciplines, dealing with solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, heat transfer, energy conversion, vibration, design, manufacturing, controls, materials science and electromechanical systems. Mechanical engineers are employed in almost every industry. If a design has moving parts or if energy is converted, a mechanical engineer was involved.
