Overview
Sustaining energy production and use is becoming increasingly challenging and requires innovative research into new and existing technologies, changes in consumer behaviour and more creative policy and regulatory approaches.
The Sustainable Energy program from Carleton University involves learning across two distinct disciplines with students specializing in either engineering or public policy before graduating with either an engineering degree (MASc or MEng in Sustainable Energy) or a public policy degree (MA in Sustainable Energy). Once a specialization is chosen, students take courses that engage with the program’s disciplinary component: public policy for those specializing in sustainable energy engineering; and engineering for those specializing in sustainable energy policy.
Career Opportunities
The program prepares students for career opportunities related to sustainable energy in government, business, and the civil society sector, and/or to serve as a foundation for further graduate education at the doctoral level.
