2 * For Students at Campus Colleges Students at campuses where EM SC 100S (GWS) and EE 211 are not offered should take CAS 100 (GWS) in place of EM SC 100S and an appropriate or equivalent electrical circuits course in place of EE 211. The curriculum has been designed to enable students who start at campus locations other than University Park to transfer to University Park and seamlessly transition into the program in their fifth semester. In the future, EGEE 02 will be offered online to enable students at non-university Park campuses to take it before they transfer into the major at University Park. ELECTIVES Students may select their EGEE, professional, and technical electives from the lists below. The technical electives are energy-related courses outside the major that are offered by various colleges across Penn State. Substitutions must be made by petition. The electives marked with an asterisk have prerequisites that only students pursuing concurrent degrees may be able to satisfy. EGEE ELECTIVES EGEE 412 Green engineering and environmental compliance EGEE 420 Hydrogen and fuel cells EGEE 46 Modern thermodynamics for energy systems EGEE 455 Materials for energy applications EGEE 470 Air pollution from combustion sources PROFESSIONAL ELECTIVES ACCTG 211 Financial and Managerial Accounting for Decision Making (4) EBF 01 Global Finance for the Earth, Energy, and Materials Industries () EBF 04W Global Management for the Earth, Energy, and Materials Industries EBF 401 Strategic Corporate Finance for the Earth, Energy, and Materials Industries () EBF 47 Risk Management in Energy Industries ()* EBF 484 Energy Economics ENGR 10 Entrepreneurial Leadership ENGR 12 Sustainable Energy Entrepreneurship ENGR 407 Technology-Based Entrepreneurship ENGR 408 (US) Leadership Principles (2) ENGR 409 (US) Leadership in Organization ENGR 425 New Venture Creation ENTR 00 Principles of Entrepreneurship* ERM 411 Legal aspects of resource management* B LAW 24 Legal Environment of Business B LAW 40 Business Law BA 250 Small Business Management I B 0 International Business Operations MGMT 01 Basic Management Concepts MGMT 426 Invention Commercialization MGMT 427 Managing an Entrepreneurial Start-up Company

4 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: EGEE Course Substitute/equivalent course EMSC 100S () CAS 100 () EGEE 012 (1) CH E 00 (1) EME 01 (6) CH E 220 () or ME00 () EME 0 CH E 0 () or ME 20 () EGEE 02 () CH E 210 () EGEE 04 () CH E 50 () or ME 410 () EGEE 420 () ME 40 () EGEE 40 () ME 416 () EGEE 464 () CH E 470 ()# EGEE 470 () ME 4 () # the capstone design project needs to be energy related and must be approved by the ENENG program officer prior to taking the course. Further strengthening of existing programs by the new program is evidenced by the fact that the mechanical and nuclear engineering department, for example, will add energy engineering as a focus area with a list of some key energy engineering courses as technical electives for their students. The program is open to other ideas and models 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. Also, there are plans to develop a course in nuclear fuel reprocessing/cycles with the nuclear engineering program in the mechanical and nuclear engineering department. 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.

5 Select courses (9 credits) from the following Courses for Energy Engineering Minor EME 01 Thermodynamics in energy and mineral engineering EME 0 Fluid mechanics in energy and mineral engineering EGEE 02 Principles of energy engineering EGEE 04 Heat and mass transfer EGEE 411 Energy Science and Engineering Laboratory or EGEE 494A Research projects EGEE 40 Introduction to combustion or ME 416 Introduction to combustion EGEE 420 Hydrogen and fuel cells or ME 408 Fuel cell engines Select courses (9 credits) from the following FSC 41 Chemistry of fuels FSC 42 Petroleum and natural gas processing EGEE 4 Physical processes in energy engineering EGEE 47 Design of solar energy conversion systems EGEE 48 Sustainable energy options EGEE 441 Electrochemical energy conversion EGEE 451 Energy conversion processes EGEE 464W Energy design project or CH E 470 or ME 442W (2) and ME 44W (1) EGEE 470 Air pollution from combustion sources or ME 470 Fundamentals of air pollution The approved course substitutions should make it attractive for students in chemical, mechanical, and nuclear engineering, in particular, to be able to readily work towards a minor, option, or dual or concurrent degree in energy engineering. The prerequisites for the above courses or their substitutes would have been met for most engineering students within their major. Students in disciplines such as agricultural and biological, civil, electrical, environmental, mining, and petroleum engineering; materials science and engineering; industrial health and safety (IHS); and energy business and finance (EBF) should seek advice from the Energy Engineering program officer on the substitutions and technical elective choices for minors, options or dual degrees.
