Overview

The department's mission is to forge an intellectual and scientific cohesiveness in energy and mineral resource technology. This objective is achieved by exploiting the natural synergy between the exploration, extraction, processing, and utilization of energy and mineral resources so as to cater to the emerging needs of society.

Features

The Energy and Mineral Engineering (EME) program at Pennsylvania State University focuses on the production of energy and minerals in an economic, safe and efficient manner.

The program provides flexible education of students in energy and mineral sciences and engineering, with focus on both non-renewable and renewable resource and energy industries.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Design Under Uncertainty in Energy and Mineral Systems
Interfacial Physical-Chemical Systems, Processes, and Measurements
Mathematical Modeling of Energy and Mineral Systems
Thermodynamics of Energy and Mineral Systems
Safety, Health and Environmental Risks in Energy and Mineral Production
