The following is a list of websites that provide direct links to schools and colleges that have programs specifically geared to pursuit of careers in the energy field.
Engineering
http://asee.org/about/publications/profiles/
This is the website maintained by the American Society for Engineering Education, a nonprofit organization of individuals and institutions committed to furthering education in engineering and engineering technology. It includes a directory of detailed profiles of U.S. and Canadian schools offering undergraduate and graduate engineering, as well as engineering technology programs with the intent of preparing prospective students for their future education in engineering. The descriptions of institutions represented in this directory allow students to compare schools using a range of characteristics from location and degrees offered to student appointments and research expenditures.
Whether you're searching for bachelor's programs in engineering, master's programs in engineering, or doctoral programs in engineering or technology -- or looking for an online engineering program to fit your busy schedule -- All Engineering Schools makes it easy to find the engineering colleges that interest you. Search for engineering schools by location, program type, or specialty. Then read detailed fact sheets on featured engineering colleges, and get in touch with admissions officers by requesting information.
The site includes:
· Featured Engineering Schools: A detailed description of engineering colleges that are members of the All Engineering Schools network.
· Request Information from Engineering Schools: Forms that allow you to contact engineering schools quickly and efficiently.
· Find an Engineering School: A complete listing of engineering colleges in the U.S. to help you locate schools that might interest you.
Environmental Studies
This website lists over 60 fields of study in environmental education and provides links to schools and colleges that have programs of study in those areas. Searches can be refined by state, type of school and course of study (i.e. certificate programs to post doctoral studies.)
Nuclear Energy
www.nei.org/
This is the website of the Nuclear energy nstitute. Click on careers and education. n addition to information on specific careers, the resource section lists scholarships, fellowships and internships in the nuclear industry. There is also a listing of universities offering nuclear energy and health physics academic programs.
Renewable Energy
www.eere.energy.gov
This is the government website on renewable energy. Go to quick links and click on education then Higher Education Opportunities. U.S. Universities and Research nstitutes EERE features links to universities and institutes in the United States that conduct energy efficiency and renewable energy research in the following areas: buildings, transportation, industry, power, bioenergy, hydrogen, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and solar.
Central and Upstate NY businesses and accredited academic institutions have collaboratively developed Certificate Programs in four current and emerging technology fields to build mastery in the fundamental knowledge and skills required for success in these business opportunities.
Curricula for each certificate blend the latest research, knowledge resources and technologies with today's best professional practices to provide participants with an integrated learning experience.
-Advanced Engineering Tools
-Bioprocess Engineering
-Indoor Environmental Quality
-Strategies Series in Sustainable Design
Designed so they can be completed in one year, each certificate program's schedule accommodates the working professional. In general classes meet one evening a week and the occasional Saturday. Through the course of study participants will have access and will learn how to most effectively apply technology. Professional practices necessary to be effective in the field of study are taught throughout the program in a practical business setting. Academic Advisors provide guidance and continuity for those enrolled in the program.
Programs are designed with the needs of business and professional development in mind. Advanced Engineering Tools, Bioprocess Engineering and ndoor Environmental Quality require a bachelor's degree and course work is at a graduate level offered through accredited academic institutions. The Strategies Series in Sustainable Design is offered for individuals interested in developing their professional skills. There are no degree requirements for participation in the Strategies Series. Depending upon professional requirements, all certificate programs may qualify for Continuing Education Units (CEUs), Professional Development Hours (PDHs) and/or Professional Development Units (PDUs) for professional engineers and architects.
