he Environmental Resources Engineering program (ERE) is one of the largest, oldest, and most respected ABET-accredited undergraduate environmental engineering programs. Our mission is to prepare engineers to solve complex environmental resources problems. The ERE program strives to educate leaders who will sustain, restore and protect our natural resources and the environment.

We prepare our students to be future leaders by establishing a foundation in both the fundamentals and the big picture. The unique ERE curriculum combines traditional environmental engineering with management of natural resources in applications such as ecological restoration and energy resource management. Our emphasis on hands-on learning also sets us apart from most undergraduate environmental engineering programs.

Engineers in Energy Resources focus on designing, installing, and operating technologies that use our resources in a sustainable manner. HSU Energy Resources engineers investigate:

* Energy generation using renewable energy resources (such as solar, wind, and hydropower)
* Sustainable energy storage and transportation
* Energy efficiency through the optimal design and management of buildings.

The Schatz Energy Research Center is an important auxiliary resource for the ERE Department. SERC's mission is to promote clean and renewable energy. The Center is responsible for a number of technological breakthroughs, including America's first street-legal PEM fuel cell powered car, as well as fuel cell patents and license agreements with corporations seeking to commercialize fuel cells. Students choosing to emphasize Energy Resources have an opportunity to work side by side with SERC research engineers and support staff.
