Renewable Energy Education at ASU

Renewable and alternative energy is a multi-disciplinary area of education, research, development and community service (energy saving and environmental issues). It is not covered by one single program or degree and has various areas of specialization in basic science, engineering and management. While AIRE has a plan to develop its own courses and programs, we advise prospective students to join one of the ASU schools, which offer the core training required for your future career as a scientist, engineer or manager. We will be glad to provide you guidance and advice with your choice of the school and reccommend to check the following specific courses and programs:

• Educational Programs in Sustainability:
  The Global Institute of Sustainability has courses for the local K-12 community and provides research and training opportunities. The School of Sustainability offers graduate and undergraduate degrees in sustainability.

• The Ph.D. Program in Biological Design:
  Bioenergy is one of the areas encompassed by the Biological Design Ph.D. This program is open to students and faculty from all aspects of science and engineering.
