Energy Educational Programs

Energy, in all its forms, plays a crucial role in human society, yet our reliance on it poses dilemmas for the 21st century. Modern economies require a steady energy supply, but energy production and consumption can have serious environmental consequences. While worldwide demand for energy is growing, the most popular sources - fossil fuels - are finite. And once-stable energy industries are rapidly evolving into more competitive, volatile enterprises. Will they meet our future energy needs?

The Energy Analysis and Policy Program (EAP) gives UW-Madison graduate students the skills and knowledge needed by professionals in government, energy companies, consulting firms, and other organizations to grapple with these kinds of concerns. EAP complements the discipline-centered approaches of most graduate degree programs, including those in energy-related fields such as geology, economics, chemistry, engineering, and business.

Masters of Engineering in Energy Systems:

The Masters of Engineering degree in Energy Systems is administered by the Mechanical Engineering Department and is currently targeted towards on-campus, undergraduate students who wish to complete a bachelor of science plus the MEES degree in a total of 5 years. These students will likely be interested in careers in HVAC&R, power generation, transportation, internal combustion engines, renewable energy, cryogenics, nuclear power, energy consulting, and other energy-related industries.
