获得工程技能，同时还探索能源行业的许多方面，包括可再生能源，油气回收，地热工程等。该计划使学生能够灵活地探索可再生能源和化石燃料能源系统，同时提供基于地球科学的能源资源管理方法。能源工程师关注能量回收过程的设计。设计过程包括表征能源的空间分布，设计和运行生产设施，选择和优化能源收集，能源勘探和生产的环境方面，能源过程性能的计算和监视。学生可以选择将学习重点放在清洁能源或石油和天然气上。
Gain engineering skills while also exploring the many facets of the energy industry including renewable energy resources, oil and gas recovery, geothermal engineering, and more. The program allows students flexibility in exploring the evolution of energy, while providing an earth sciences based approach to energy resources. Energy resources engineers are concerned with the design of processes for energy recovery. Included in the design process are characterizing the spatial distribution of energy resources, designing and operating production facilities, selecting and optimizing energy collection, the environmental aspects of energy exploration and production, computation of energy process performance, and monitoring. Students have the option to focus their study on clean energy or oil & gas. The mission of the Energy Resources Engineering major is to provide students with the engineering skills and foundational knowledge needed to flourish as technical leaders within the energy industry.
