Description of the Department or Unit

Energy Technology; the BS in Building Sciences, with two concentrations; and the
Master of Science in Technology. The Department includes more than 35 full-time

foundational principles, the program is committed to priming students' minds to
deconstruct, organize, and solve a wide range of problems related to the built
environment in a team-based setting. Students go on to career paths in
architecture, construction, building performance assessment, and facilities
management.
