Undergraduate Certificate in Wind Energy

Students that complete the undergraduate certificate in wind energy will be prepared for professional practice in the wind industry. This includes the ability to design wind turbines and/or wind turbine components, as well as understand the salient aspects of wind power plant design, including project economics, interactions with the electrical grid and environmental impacts. The Wind Energy Undergraduate Certificate (WEUC) is a program designed to give students the training necessary to apply their undergraduate degrees to careers in the wind energy industry. Wind energy is now a mainstream power conversion technology that will likely grow substantially in the future. Along with this growth will come the need for many new businesses and professionals working in the industry.

The WEUC is a 15-credit program that will be available to undergraduate students in engineering, the physical sciences and math. Two undergraduate, wind-energy focused courses concentrating on the fundamental electrical, mechanical and wind flow aspects of wind energy are required for all students. These courses provide students with the foundational material necessary to understand wind energy conversion systems. Three additional courses, selected from several possible course topics and disciplines, may be selected by the student to tailor their certificate toward the specialty in which they wish to work. Students enrolled in the program may complete the requirements concurrent with their B.S. degrees.
