The department boasts a rich history, extremely successful alumni, outstanding and award-winning faculty, and dedicated staff willing to take on all challenges that come their way. Its exceptionally talented students continue to scale new heights in multi-disciplinary research and creative pursuits. We live in exciting times, with major shifts both in our energy landscape and our perceptions regarding sustainability and stewardship of Earth’s resources. The department continues to evolve to address these challenges and pursue exciting opportunities. The unique combination of our programs within one department offers advantages in collaboration that do not exist in any university worldwide.
