Energy Conversion and Conservation
). The first two years of the program are similar to traditional engineering disciplines.Thereafter, one takes a series of courses that introduce Energy Engineering concepts andfundamental energy engineering principles that involve material and energy balances,thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer operations, and physical and chemicalprocessing as applied to energy industries. In addition to these engineering principles, studentsenroll in required courses in renewable/sustainable energy principles. Students are trained inbasic chemistry of fuels – coal, petroleum, natural gas and biomass; combustion; petroleum andnatural gas processing; electrochemical energy conversion; and energy conversion processesincluding chemical
