Studies in Energy Sources and Systems at Rensselaer

Dr. Kim L. Boyer
Professor and Head of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering

For electrical, computer, and systems engineers, the 21st century will be a time of significant challenge, as well as a time of significant opportunity. In particular, we will be summoned to address key problems in the delivery and use of energy. Energy sources and systems of the future will be diversified, heterogeneous, distributed, and intelligent. It is impossible to say exactly what these systems will become over the next 10-30 years, but it is clear that they will differ from what we have today.

Please read this important statement in its entirety which affects all ECSE Students and Faculty. Read More »»
