Curriculum Development

UC Berkeley offers a broad array of energy and natural resource related courses through various programs. Given the emerging pressure to address our most dramatic energy problems using the tools of both the business and public policy worlds, it is important to understand both of these disciplines in addition to the fundamental science, engineering, and environmental perspectives. CEEI develops new interdisciplinary courses to address the issues around commercializing new energy technologies.
