Northeastern University’s college of engineering will launch a master’s program focusing on the business of clean energy this fall.
The program, called the Master of Science in Energy Systems (MSES), is intended to give engineers or technical business majors cross-disciplinary education in technologies that are sustainable and marketable. The program will comprise engineering and capital projects financing and will teach students how to integrate traditional energy systems with alternative systems using solar, wind, hydropower and photovoltaic technologies. The curriculum will also feature conservation techniques, developments in high-efficiency combustion, alternative fuels, trigeneration systems and other technologies, the school said.
Students in the program will take six core courses in engineering and finance and four elective courses taught by a mix of Northeastern faculty and industry representatives, according to the school. The program is intended to teach students the economic and political aspects of implementing renewable energy technology systems, in addition to the technology itself. Northeastern’s colleges of engineering, business administration, arts and sciences, and technological entrepreneurship will participate in the program.
Students enrolled in the program will be able to apply for co-op positions at industry companies.
