Education

Carnegie Mellon University has offered educational programs in energy for more than 40 years. We educate students who go out into the world and make a significant impact on the way in which we develop and use energy resources. 

CMU continues to develop and expand our curricula with numerous undergraduate research opportunities. Additionally, graduate- and Ph.D.-level programs with a focus on energy issues give students the tools they need to address energy-related problems today and in the future. You can see a list of our energy-related courses and student energy clubs.

Policymaker Outreach

Carnegie Mellon University researchers of all disciplines recognize that technical solutions alone cannot support change unless the technologies are developed with an understanding of the constraints of economics, design, finance, regulation and consumer behavior.

At the Scott Institute, we are unique in our ability to take a systems approach to energy problems and create real-world solutions. One of our objectives is to engage decision makers and the general public to better inform public discourse on energy-related issues with:

Public Outreach

The Scott Institute has produced a series of videos to educate the public and policymakers about key energy innovation issues.

From our latest Power Sector Carbon Index to the ISOMAP, Carnegie Mellon's researchers create cutting-edge tools to find real-world solutions.
