Sub-Total Credits 18-19 Total Credits 21 Renewable Energy Engineering (RNEW) BS Renewable energy systems is a high growth industry with a need for highly trained engineers who can improve the efficiency of current technologies as well as develop new ways to produce clean and affordable energy. The Renewable Energy Engineering Program at Alfred University is dedicated to the study and practice of energy systems for a sustainable environment. Our mission is to produce the next generation of engineers and scientists who will develop and perfect renewable energy systems, improve energy efficiency, and advance science and engineering to create a more sustainable future for our planet. The RNEW program at AU integrates aspects of electrical and mechanical engineering with business in a systems-level approach as it relates to the generation, delivery and consumption of energy from renewable sources. Graduates of our program will work in the energy service industries which specialize in renewable systems. They will work in industry as professionals trained in government regulations. They will assist corporations in improving transmission and grid integration, power markets, utility operation and planning methods, and product management. The BS program in Renewable Energy Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the General Criteria.
