- 1
Courses applied towards a certificate cannot be used to satisfy electives.
- 2
The company or co-op project must be energy or energy-related and should be related to the focus area of the certificate. Approved by the Energy Stewardship Professor is required. The co-op must meet the requirements for 'co-op as a technical elective.'
Minor Requirements and Program Notes:
- Students must be aware of all course per-requisites for courses listed in this program.
- A course applied to one certificate cannot also count toward a second Energy Engineering certificate, Nuclear Engineering certificate, or as the additional courses for the minor.
