Minor in Energy Systems

Georgia Institute of Technology College of Engineering 76 courses 27 total credits

About This Program

The Energy Systems Minor provides students a 15-hour multidisciplinary educational opportunity to study energy systems. The minor includes 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. Appropriate courses are selected by program faculty to meet the needs of their students. 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 β€œcapstone” 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. Appropriate projects are either solicited from industry or faculty experts. The minor is open to all Georgia Tech undergraduate students whose majors have approved the minor. The breadth courses and the capstone project course, courses taken by all students completing the minor, require one or more pre-requisites; specifically, basic economics, mathematics, and lab science courses.
