The study of renewable energy engineering addresses problems associated with the use of fossil fuels by replacing them with sustainable, green options. By exploring different renewable energy types, students often seek to engineer machines or develop methods that are more efficient at producing large amounts of energy.

A master’s program is a focused degree that requires about two years of classwork, research, and possibly a thesis paper to earn. This advanced program of study allows students to further specialize their schooling in an area that interests them.
