可持续能源管理（SEM）计划旨在向学生介绍广泛的能源市场和资源（化石燃料，电力，可再生能源和可持续能源），同时在以学生为中心的学习中了解和管理能源系统方面保持很大的灵活性。可持续能源管理计划基于将管理技能的专业能力与社会和生物物理科学的坚实基础相结合的愿景。对负责任的能源使用以及可持续能源发展的研究已经成为国家和全球的重要课题。能源问题包括对各种潜在资源的质量和数量，能源安全以及每种资源对环境和人类健康的潜在影响的担忧。我们的社会和能源专业人员必须了解各种形式的能源的生产和转换，其当前和未来的供应，调节其
The Sustainable Energy Management (SEM) program is structured to introduce students to a wide range of energy markets and resources (fossil fuels, electricity, renewable and sustainable energy resources) while maintaining substantial flexibility for student-centered learning in understanding and managing energy systems. The Sustainable Energy Management program is based on a vision that combines professional competency in management skills with a strong foundation in the social and biophysical sciences. The study of responsible energy resources use, and the development of sustainable sources of energy, has become a critical national and global issue. Energy issues include concerns about the quality and quantity of the different potential resources, energy security, and potential impacts of each on the environment and human health. It is essential that our society and energy professionals gain an understanding of production and conversion of different forms of energy, their current and future supplies, the markets and policy mechanisms that regulate their supply, and the associated impacts on the environment for each fuel.
