This minor option will provide students enrolled within the College of Engineering and Computer Science with a grouping of courses/electives that will provide academic depth in the field of energy related systems in 4 different but related tracks.

Admission to the energy systems minor is by permission of an academic advisor and requires students to be enrolled in a B.S. program in Engineering within the College of Engineering and Computer Science.

Students with sufficient technical background from other Syracuse University Academic Units may be considered for admission to the Minor in Energy Systems and such decisions will be made by the E&CS Energy Systems Committee.
