Education task force
The Energy Education Task Force is currently investigating the following goals with the support of the MITEI Education Office:
- developing an undergraduate energy minor,
- assessing MIT's existing energy curriculum,
- and establishing and communicating a model for interdisciplinary energy education at MIT.
Proposals: Energy-Focused Subjects
The Energy Education Task Force welcomes proposals for new or substantially revised energy-focused subjects. Priority areas for undergraduate energy curriculum development include early engagement experiences, project/design/laboratory-based subjects, social sciences of energy, and energy technology/engineering.
Please see the call for proposals (pdf) for further information.
