The Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering houses two graduate programs: Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering and Petroleum and Mineral Engineering, both of which offer M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Within each program, you can customize your course of study to facilitate your research interests. Necessarily, the range of active research areas are broad and fully reflected in the research interests of our program faculty.
Whether you choose to specialize in an area in energy and the environment, petroleum and natural gas engineering, mining and mineral process engineering, or industrial health and safety, you will receive a flexible yet comprehensive graduate education through a blend of individualized research projects and coursework in core areas of study.
In the Classroom and Beyond
Students in our graduate programs enjoy small personal classes taught by an experienced EGEE and PME faculty who are internationally recognized for their research contributions. In addition, students have access to a variety of research laboratories and computational facilities within the department. Upon graduation, our students achieve a near 100% job placement rate as our alumni stand at the forefront of energy and environmental engineering with careers in industry, academia, and government.
