Education

Education is closely integrated with MIT's energy research and "walk the talk" activities. The articles in this section focus on the energy education initiatives most useful to you at MIT and highlight new programs as they develop.

Campus Energy Activities

Today’s energy challenges are going to emerge not only from the research laboratories and classrooms but also from practice-based management innovations that focus on minimizing the energy footprint of energy-intensive institutions such as MIT.

Other MITEI Activities

MITEI is involved in the important mission of raising energy awareness at MIT and beyond. These efforts include sponsoring public presentations on campus by energy experts, expanding opportunities for members of the Institute community, and participating in Institute-level outreach activities.
