Post Graduate Courses Descriptions: Energy Systems Engineering
Energy Systems Engineering Curriculum
Singhania University Committee has developed an interdisciplinary ESE curriculum. It will provide a coherent approach to energy engineering by equipping its students with the tools needed to conceptualize, analyze, design and integrate advanced energy systems. This approach is informed by a broad perspective on energy production, transmission and utilization technology options and tradeoffs, and an appreciation for public policy and regulatory issues.
The curriculum will focus on the science and engineering that underpins energy conversion systems and will address engineering, science, and societal issues in the areas of fossil, nuclear, and renewable power generation, including hydrogen production and generation, energy usage, conservation and optimization, and sustainable development.
Research and education in the science and engineering of fossil, nuclear, and renewable energy
production are current areas of strength at UMD and are perceived to be of critical importance to the future well being of this nation. ESE students will be uniquely qualified to participate in the formulation and implementation of future energy strategies and will provide a leadership cadre for the energy engineering community.
Participating students will be expected to complete the MS or PhD degree requirements of their respective departments' programs, while taking as many courses as possible from the ESE
Curriculum. The final decision on course selection is reached in coordination with the student, his/her adviser and the respective department's graduate director.
Students participating in the ESE Curriculum must be accepted as advisee by one of the faculty participating in the ESE Curriculum and should have completed a M.Tech. in an engineering discipline
Energy system design is a multidisciplinary specialization that includes science, engineering,
and the development of policies that promote sustainable systems. All engineering disciplines will be
increasingly engaged in finding power sources of the future. This new generation of energy technologists
will also need the skills to communicate and collaborate effectively with policymakers.
Building on UM’s leadership role in energy issues and innovative environmental applications, this new
program will prepare engineers to creatively meet the needs of developed and developing economies by
adapting the fundamentals of civil power supplies, transportation power and microelectric and portable
power.
