Energy Classes

Welcome to Energy Classes, a tool designed to help students easily browse and search energy-focused classes taught at MIT.

To begin your search, choose one or more parameters and click “Apply.” Click “Reset” to begin again. Use the control key to make multiple choices in the “Day” and “Start Time” fields. Further refine your search by using the sort function available on several of the column headings. A keyword search will search the class title and description. While we keep Energy Classes as up to date as possible, please refer to the MIT Bulletin for further detail and as the official source of information on all MIT classes.
