COURSE SUBSTITUTIONS

Agricultural and biological, chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, mechanical, mining, nuclear and petroleum engineering, materials science and engineering, industrial health and safety, and energy business and finance students will be able to substitute by petition some of their courses for some of the minor and dual or concurrent degree requirements. Students in chemical, mechanical, and nuclear engineering in particular may make the following substitution of courses:

# the capstone design project needs to be energy related and must be approved by the ENENG program chair prior to taking the course. Energy Engineering Majors are not allowed to take equivalent courses from other department without the permission of the ENENG program chair.

The program goal is to ensure a broad-based energy engineering education for Penn State students with special interest in energy. For example, in the required capstone design course EGEE 464W, the program intends to participate and work with the Learning Factory program in the College of Engineering to provide students an opportunity to work on industrial energy related problems in teams composed of students from multiple energy-related disciplines. The proposed energy engineering program is consistent and in line with the recent Penn State University Energy Task Force report and recommendations. In particular, it fulfills the recommendation to develop an exciting new undergraduate curriculum in energy.
