The Energy track of this cross-disciplinary certificate program, offered in partnership between the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment and the Keller Center, aims to bring together students from across divisions and provide them with a comprehensive program of courses, research, and activities in the area of energy technologies and their impact on society and the environment. Courses provide exposure to a broad set of issues at the intersection of technology and society, and students have a choice of two tracks of study: Energy or Information Technology. Energy track recipients will gain a greater understanding of the shaping, development, and deployment of energy solutions for the benefit of society as well as a sense of the trade-offs that different solutions present. Undergraduates from all divisions are eligible to participate in the program, although it is primarily geared toward humanities and social science concentrators.
