Cornell University: Energy Studies in the College of Engineering
Location: Ithaca, New York
Mission: The The Energy Institute is dedicated to enabling research and education to understand the global interplay of energy (resource recovery, capture, conversion and transformation, and energy storage and distribution) with earth systems (including water, agriculture and climate). The Energy Institute promotes both research and education that are cognizant of the need for a truly sustainable energy plan to occupy an academic and real-life position that connects energy science and technology with the fields of economics, business, policy, sociology, and political science (more on vision)

Legal Stuff: The Alternative Energy Educational organization covered above does not endorse, sponsor or pay Dayaway Careers LLC in any way; odds are it doesn't even know Dayaway. It's name and logos are registered trademarks belonging exclusively to it. We covered the organization because we feel the organization is doing really good things to prepare tomorrow's energy professionals. That's our independent opinion and we're sticking to it.
