能源系统工程

本科学位

 

The 能源系统工程 (ESEN) program prepares cadets for careers in engineering 规划, 设计, and 安装 of technical equipment systems required for power generation and management. These systems assist in the distribution of electrical power with the ability to engage in all facets of energy engineering. The fast-growing energy industry — including conventional and 替代 — demands graduates with technical problem-solving skills.

网赌平台的学员已经准备好满足这些要求.

Advanced mathematics and applied engineering courses drive curriculum and help cadets develop technical skills; field work focuses on the necessary teamwork, 沟通, 批判性思维, 道德成分. 例如, 在哥斯达黎加的雨林里, cadets explore natural resources and help develop a sustainable community at the local and national level.

This program requires cadets to complete at least two co-ops and to take the nationwide Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. An optional USCG Marine Engineer license can be attained by completing a dual major in Marine Engineering (MENG) and four sea terms.

 

The ESE curriculum includes advanced mathematics and applied engineering courses along with coursework that addresses the engineering 设计 of conventional, 替代, 以及可再生能源系统. This major emphasizes the reliance of math in finding solutions .

The ESE program requires the completion of two cooperative (co-op) learning experiences in industry that are scheduled for the students' junior and senior years. The ESE co-op program provides the students with opportunities to learn the practical application of their studies in real-world industrial settings, 建立专业联系, 发展未来的就业选择.

This is what makes this major so unique because our graduates pursue work in every engineering field they have a strong passion for. 这些限制是自己强加的. Renewable energy firms are always reaching out to our graduates

Possible positions for an 能源系统工程 major include:

  • 设计工程师
  • 能源分析师
  • 专业的工程师
  • 测试工程师

This is the hardest aspect of this major because many students in the program are still developing their hands-on skill sets. These skill sets are needed during the prototype development phase in the 设计 courses. Knowing how to use the business end of a screwdriver is vital. We work with real tools while creating real devices.

The 能源系统工程 program is accredited by the Engineering 认证 Commission of the 认证 Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).  有关ABET的信息可在 http://www.abet.org.

Students in the ESE program are required to take the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam during their senior year. This examination is the first step toward professional licensure in the field of engineering. More information about the FE exam may be found at http://ncees.org/.

ESE课程的学生还可以参加美国大学英语课程. S. Coast Guard (USCG) marine engineer license option with a dual major in Marine Engineering (MENG).  This dual major option may require a fifth year to accommodate the additional MENG coursework and will require the student to participate in four sea terms during the winter sessions.  在最后一个学期, the license option students would be required to take and pass the USCG Third Assistant Engineer's license exam.
