Program Information
Addressing the ever-increasing worldwide demand for energy, while minimizing impact on the environment, is key to creating a sustainable future. The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment (ACEE) brings together researchers and educators in the interdisciplinary fields of engineering, architecture, the social and natural sciences, and public policy to address this fundamental challenge of the 21st century. Six interacting research areas form the heart of the Andlinger Center's focus. Researchers in these areas work together to address the monumental challenges that impact our energy and environmental future. The research areas are: the built environment, transportation and infrastructure; electricity production, transmission, and storage; fuels and chemicals; environmental sensing and remediation; decision and behavioral science, policy, and economics in partnership with the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs; and environmental and climate science in partnership with High Meadows Environmental Institute.
An important goal of the center is to provide Princeton undergraduates with the opportunity to explore issues related to energy and the environment in a multi-dimensional fashion. These dimensions include building and deploying energy systems, quantitatively analyzing the impact of these systems on economic growth and society, and evaluating their impact on climate change and the environment. The center aims to train the next generation of leaders who will help forge a sustainable future through their work in science, engineering, architecture, economics, public policy, and environmental areas related to energy systems.
Certifiate Programs in ACEE
Program in Technology and Society: Energy Track
The Program in Technology and Society: Energy Track, jointly offered with the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education, is designed to explore the intersection of technology and society, and how their co-evolution affects the implementation of innovative energy technologies. An appreciation of different points of view on these issues is critical to creating practical and effective energy solutions. Students in all disciplines—humanities, social sciences, physical and natural sciences, and engineering—who are interested in understanding and working on energy solutions can benefit from gaining such perspectives outside their particular area of focus. The Energy Track certificate, which showcases and emphasizes a broad array of energy issues and societal concerns, helps provide such perspectives.
Program in Sustainable Energy
The Program in Sustainable Energy focuses on studies of current energy resources, the development of energy systems that support sustainable economic growth, the nexus of energy security and environmental harmony, and an understanding of global climate and environmental change. Science and engineering students interested in pursuing graduate studies or careers in fields related to energy, as well as humanities and policy students who desire a more technical grasp of the world’s energy landscape, will be exposed to a broad spectrum of energy technologies.
Further information about both programs is available on the center's website.
