STEM Career: Energy Engineer
Energy engineers are involved in producing energy from natural resources, such as oil and gas, or renewable resources, such as wind and solar power. Concerns about climate change have prompted increased interest in this field, particularly in renewable sources protective of the environment. These engineers often create graphical representations of energy production systems.
Tools of the Trade
Map creation software, green technologies, analytical software
Education Required
A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, energy engineering, or energy systems engineering
