Energy touches all aspects of the human experience and is central to nearly every global challenge the world faces today, from raising the standards of living around the world to the existential threat of climate change. The scientific basis of energy is inherently multidisciplinary, and social and behavioral sciences are also crucial to understanding the economics and policy driving technology adoption. The Energy minor program addresses the growing need for trained engineers and scientists in the many sectors that develop, manage, and propagate these technologies. The Energy minor is jointly administered by the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Whiting School of Engineering and is affiliated with the Ralph OβConnor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI) which provides additional support and co-curricular opportunities to students in the program. If you have questions regarding the minor, please direct them to Professor Susanna Thon at susanna.thon@jhu.edu if you are in the Whiting School and Professor Jerry Burgess at jerry.burgess@jhu.edu if you are affiliated with the Krieger School. Students can review the sample program of study on the Undergraduate Energy Minor website.
