Graduate Program (EaSE)
• Open to MS and PhD students in natural sciences & architecture: – Seminar (
15 faculty speakers
;
> 100 students in Spring 2011
) – Theory & methods core course – Seven specializations (
160 courses within
): Biomass, Geologic, Markets, Conversion & Transmission, Built Environment, Safety & Security, Environmental Systems – Student earns a certificate (
on top of the departmental
(PSM)
• Fall 2011: Anticipated start of internship
ME degree in Energy Systems
• Student exchange program with Sao Paulo, Brazil
Where do you want to go? • Leverage the extraordinary collection of energy resources at UI (
EaSE, EBI, CABER, SESE, ECI, SDEP, NRES, STEM, MSTE, iFoundry, pERE,…)
What do you want to do? • Fall 2011: Launch a campus-wide initiative in
Clean Energy Systems
– Programs for K-12, undergraduate, graduate, community colleges, continuing ed… for both science and non-science students: • Develop interdisciplinary student engagement & research – Technology, society, business, policy, regulation… What are the opportunities by collaboration & partnerships?
• Student exchanges
to perform projects in specific contexts
• Online seminars & courses,
including continuing education
• Develop the intersection between the
sustainability of materials
(Ashby / CES) and the
design of products and systems

Example Area of Specialization: Energy Conversion and Transmission
The supply of energy depends on the conversion of energy from one form (wind, thermal, solar, electrochemical) to another (mechanical, electrical, thermal). The courses in this specialization present the theory, technology, and efficiency of these processes. Electricity is generated at fossil, nuclear, or renewable power plants and moves to the user via a power grid with issues involving control, dynamics, and stability. Two courses from any one of these three sets qualify for a specialization.
