NON-THESIS INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC PROJECT

Each student also engages in a non-thesis industry-specific project that leverages related Lehigh research endeavors or addresses an issue identified by one of the program's industry sponsors.

Coursework for the program is drawn from three core areas:

ENERGY GENERATION —including coal, nuclear, oil and gas, fusion, and renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
 

TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION/SMART GRID —covering infrastructure systems, security, interconnections, and distribution optimization.
 

ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT —including climate change, clean coal technologies and nuclear waste issues.
