Energy Systems Minor
The Energy Systems Minor provides students a 15-hour multidisciplinary educational opportunity to study energy systems. Requirements include courses which provide depth in an area relevant to energy that is within the scope of the student’s chosen program. Depth course options available to students may vary depending on the program. The minor also includes requirements for courses which cut across disciplines. These courses are intended to add breadth of knowledge in areas outside the student’s major but important to energy systems. A terminal “capstone” or project course provides an opportunity for students from multiple disciplines to work together in multidisciplinary teams on a significant project in the energy area.
Distance Learning and Professional Education
The Georgia Institute of Technology makes the educational resources of its academic and research units accessible to working professionals throughout the state and the nation. Short courses in energy topics spanning a broad range of science, engineering, policy, and economic opportunities are just one aspect of programs offered via the Distance Learning and Professional Education Office at Georgia Tech.
