This event is brought to you by the masters student's in the  Energy Science, Technology and Policy (EST&P) M.S. program in the College of Engineering and jointly supported by Carnegie Mellon’s Scott Institute for Energy Innovation

The goal of the Energy Careers Symposium is to bring the new generation of engineers, scientists, researchers and policy makers together with industry representatives to promote a dialogue on the current energy landscape and the future of various careers in the energy industry.  The Symposium aims to highlight some of the recent movements in the energy field such as technological innovations, climate change, consumer trends, political shifts and more.


Experts, specialists, CEOs, researchers and representatives of renowned institutions will present an overview of the challenges currently in the energy sector today and to discuss the multitude of career opportunities with our undergraduate and graduate students.  The Symposium will feature Dr. Jared Cohon, President Emeritus of Carnegie Mellon University as the keynote speaker. Following the keynote address there will be informative panel discussions in the area of entrepreneurship and novel technologies in energy, as well as, future career opportunities in energy. After the formal program concludes, attendees will have the chance to network and converse with industry representatives from private, public, and not-for-profit energy sectors.
