Dear friends of the ENENG program,
As the spring semester kicks off, it presents a good time to reflect on the last year. The Energy Engineering program graduated fourteen majors in spring 2023, as well as six more in the summer, and ten majors plan to graduate this semester (fall 2023). These graduates will go on to work at energy and technology companies of all sizes, utilities, and some will continue their education in graduate school.
The ENENG program also had some faculty changes this last year, with the retirement of Ljubisa Radovic and departure of Derek Hall (now in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Penn State), and addition of Olumide Ogunmodimu, assistant professor of energy and mineral engineering. As of this August, I have taken over the program chair duties from Derek Hall.
Furthermore, our Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) student group has been quite active under the leadership of Elizabeth Baierlein and Ryan Manning. This past fall, the AEE student group organized guest speakers, a tour of the Sustainability Experience Center, and disseminated valuable career-seeking information to its student membership. Please look for members of our AEE group at the MIT Energy Conference in March 2024!
If there is information you would like to share, we would love to hear from you. Please contact me at eugene.morgan@psu.edu.
Sincerely,
Eugene Morgan
Associate Teaching Professor
Program Chair for Energy Engineering
