Energy Systems

Focus:

Students apply the knowledge, problem-solving skills and project management skills acquired during their previous three years to high level real-world projects. Students may pursue projects of interest in a wide range of engineering disciplines, such as alternative fuels, fluid dynamics, direct and indirect energy conversion, electrical and mechanical systems. The laboratory accommodates both individual and team projects requiring specific knowledge in such diversified subjects as design, materials, testing, computer interfacing and planning.
