MIT Energy Initiative
Linking science, innovation, and policy to transform the world's energy systems
MIT Energy Initiative
Education
MIT is fundamentally a center of learning, and education is a pillar of the Energy Initiative.
From freshmen pre-orientation to the Energy Studies Minor to graduate fellowships, we engage students at every level. Our students:
- Study the entire energy system, with an emphasis on innovations in technology, institutions, policy, and behavior.
- Acquire knowledge of multiple perspectives on energy: science, technology, and social science.
- Experience hands-on engagements in classrooms and laboratories, as well as in the field, through:
- UROPs and other research activities. Applications due March 8th.
- Student-driven projects and groups
- Internships
- Participate in vibrant, diverse student networks at the graduate level such as The Society of Energy Fellows at MIT and the Martin Family Society of Fellows for Sustainability.
The Institute’s “mens et manus” philosophy (mind and hand) guides the content of and approaches to teaching and learning energy at MIT.
