Introduction

The Sustainable Energy Management bachelor program is designed for students with a strong interest in energy use and the associated impacts on our natural environment. Students will learn about the production and conversion of different forms of energy, their current and future supplies, and the markets and policy mechanisms that regulate their supply.

Our courses focus on solving critical challenges.

Combining management skills with an understanding of responsible energy resources use and the development of sustainable sources of energy. Students will learn about the production and conversion of different forms of energy, their current and future supplies, and the markets and policy mechanisms that regulate their supply.

The Sustainable Energy Management (SEM) program introduces 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 the potential impacts of each on the environment and human health. It is essential that our society and energy professionals gain an understanding of the 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.

Students interested in this program typically have a strong interest in energy use and associated impacts on our natural resources and environments. This major exposes students to views from a variety of disciplines as they investigate issues related to current and future energy supply and use. Students likely have an interest in exploring sustainable uses of energy and resources and want to develop the professional knowledge and skills needed to conserve and manage energy resources and the environment. ESF provides a variety of opportunities to meet students’ needs through sustainable and renewable energy demonstration projects, research in energy topics, and ESF's adoption of energy-efficient and renewable energy projects. Experiential field learning is combined with learning concepts and skills in the classroom and laboratory on ESF's Syracuse campus.

The SEM major requires a base of coursework in math and science, with additional work in applied economics, statistics, and applied energy courses. The major has a strong focus on developing the management skills needed to work in the energy field. ESF has significant applied energy research and demonstration projects in place to provide students with valuable sources of experiential learning and data for analysis. In addition, the Central NY region has significant sustainable energy projects in place and underway as more assets for the development of experiential learning opportunities.
