Support the creation of an Energy 101 course framework for an multidisciplinary higher education undergraduate course for teaching the fundamentals of energy using a systems-based approach that can be individualized by the nations universities and community colleges to create their own ‘Energy 101’.
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE) peer reviewed Energy 101 Course Framework is for use by energy experts and educators at universities and community colleges to create introductory, multidisciplinary fundamentals of energy type courses.
To pursue a clean energy career, you may need general as well as specialized training. A number of colleges and universities now offer specializations in various clean energy fields, or even full degree programs. Community colleges can also be a great resource if you want to get certified for a particular trade or get a two-year degree with clean energy credentials.
