EME's research and graduate programs cover a broad spectrum including petroleum engineering, reservoir analysis, electricity market structures, integrating various energy sources into power grids, mining operations and mineral refinement, fuel chemistry and processing, energy transformation technologies, and environmental and safety concerns in the energy and mineral industries. Approaches range from hands-on laboratory experiments to computational modeling and sophisticated data analysis. Our distinguished faculty specialize in applying scientific, engineering, and economic principles to energy and mineral resource challenges. The EME doctoral program provides an exceptional setting to cultivate specialized research skills for addressing tomorrow's energy needs.
Admission to the Energy and Mineral Engineering graduate program is competitive. Entering students must hold a bachelor's degree in a science or engineering discipline, unless they are admitted to the Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate (IUG) program. Students with 3.00 or better (out of 4.00) junior/senior cumulative grade-point averages and appropriate course backgrounds will be considered for admission. Exceptions to the minimum 3.00 grade-point average may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests, at the program’s discretion.
