Energy Policy for Engineers Certificate

The undergraduate certificate in Energy Policy for Engineers would provide more advanced undergraduate students with coursework on energy markets, the economics of climate change, the fundamentals of U.S. energy policy, and the role of technology in facilitating the energy transition. With this training, undergraduate engineering students would be prepared to use systems integration thinking to consider how policy and market forces shape the viability and application of engineering technologies. Students with this training would be more competitive for strategy and leadership roles in energy-focused companies in the private sector and for the increasingly broad set of public sector careers tied to energy policy and the energy transition. 

The Energy Policy for Engineers Certificate consists of 12 credit hours of coursework and is coordinated through a partnership between the Tickle College of Engineering and the Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs.
