How is Computing Applied?
-
Environmental Modeling: Computing supports the development of environmental models to simulate and predict
ecological processes.
-
Data Analysis: They use computing tools to collect, process, and analyze data related to energy
consumption, environmental quality, and resource management.
-
Energy Policy Analysis: Computing helps in modeling and analyzing energy policies.
Jobs that can be achieved with this major combined with a computing minor are:
-
Energy Data Analyst: They collect, process, and analyze data related to energy consumption, production,
and distribution. They derive insights from large datasets to inform decision-making,
optimize energy efficiency, and support renewable energy initiatives.
-
Environmental Modeling Specialist: They use computer modeling and simulation techniques to predict the impact of environmental
changes, such as climate change, pollution, and habitat loss. They help policymakers,
researchers, and organizations understand complex environmental systems and develop
strategies for mitigation and adaptation.
-
Energy Policy Analyst: They study energy policies, regulations, and market dynamics to assess their impact
on energy systems, sustainability goals, and economic development. They provide insights
to policymakers, industry stakeholders, and advocacy groups to inform decision-making
and shape energy policy initiatives.
