Master of Engineering in Energy Systems Engineering

The Master of Engineering (M. Eng.) in Energy Systems Engineering (ESE) degree program is designed for students who are ready to accept the grand challenge of energy in all its diverse forms and applications. It provides critical engineering skills in interlocking energy disciplines. ESE is a multidisciplinary specialization that includes science, engineering, and the development of policies that promote sustainable systems. Students select from a wide array of courses to create an individual plan of study. The program also covers basic management issues and enables students to develop their ability to lead project teams. ESE graduates possess strengths in their engineering discipline, breadth in relevant engineering and science and understanding of the critical role of the environment in energy systems, including economic factors. The degree is available for on-campus and online study.

Sequential Undergraduate/Graduate Study

  • B.S.E. Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering
  • M. Eng. in Energy Systems Engineering

This Sequential Undergraduate/Graduate Study (SUGS) program leads to a Master of Engineering in Energy Systems Engineering. University of Michigan students who are pursuing a B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering and who meet all the SUGS requirements may apply to the Energy Systems Engineering program to pursue the SUGS program, which allows them to complete their B.S.E. and M. Eng. in five years total.
