Clean Energy

The objective of the Clean Energy Minor at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is to provide students with technical skills and economic/political background to understand the complexities of creating affordable, clean energy and using renewable energy sources to solve global energy challenges. This multidisciplinary minor will allow students to learn from different disciplinary perspectives and apply their discipline-specific skills toward the adoption of alternative energy sources and implementing technologies to make the current energy sources more sustainable. This minor will prepare students for careers in an energy industry that is trending towards incorporating more renewable sources.
