Worries about long-term sustainability, especially concerning climate change, will necessitate significant shifts in how energy is produced and consumed worldwide. Effective planning approaches will need cross-disciplinary evaluations of both technological solutions and policy measures to address economic, ecological, and societal needs.
A specialized program in energy systems analysis prepares students to perform targeted research that generates actionable, policy-focused findings for energy and environmental decision-making. This program emphasizes computer-based modeling to examine how various energy technologies interact within interconnected systems affected by fluctuating energy costs, shifting consumer demands, and evolving technological capabilities. Given that these models forecast technology adoption, emission levels, and fuel prices, accurately representing substantial future uncertainties is equally essential.
