The Energy Systems Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria.
Energy Systems Engineering is a relatively new undergraduate degree offering launched
by the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2009. The program is truly unique
and unlike any other engineering degree in the country.
ESE engineers may choose training in alternative and environmentally-friendly energy
conversion systems to complement their education in traditional technologies that
will continue to play an important role for the foreseeable future.
Although the discipline of mechanical engineering has historically been responsible
for the design of energy conversion cycles and equipment, issues outside the conventional
realms of engineering are increasingly important to address as new and improved energy
conversion systems are implemented. The engineer trained in Energy Systems will be
better equipped than traditional Mechanical Engineers to deal with the environmental,
legal, political and economic aspects of new energy projects.
The energy systems engineering (ESE) program is designed to train engineers to address one of this country’s foremost challenges: to achieve energy independence and yet meet the growing demand for energy, while at the same time addressing critical environmental concerns.
Successfully practice the profession of engineering
Demonstrate career growth (e.g., increasing complexity of job assignment, career promotions, professional registration, patents, publications, and completion of advanced degrees)
Apply energy systems engineering knowledge to find creative solutions to evolving challenges with global, economic, environmental, and societal impacts
Successfully serve in a range of leadership and collaborative roles in the profession and in the community
Exhibit high professional standards and commitment to ethical action
The Department’s Student Outcomes are:
An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors
An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts
An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions
An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
