M.S. in Technological Systems Management with a concentration in Energy and Environmental Systems
The purpose of the Energy and Environmental
Systems (EES) concentration of the Technological System Management (TSM) Master’s
program is to prepare future interdisciplinary professionals and leaders to
address critical issues that arise from the interaction of human society and
the natural environment. Students will
receive rigorous training in both underlying theories and practical
approaches to problems in energy and environmental systems. We emphasize quantitative and analytic
skills (e.g., data analysis, probability and statistics, decision making),
and deep knowledge in specific subjects (e.g., environmental assessment,
environmental or energy planning, energy management, waste management,
ecosystem management). The flexible
curriculum is designed to accommodate the needs and interests of each
student. It is intended to serve
students with various length of working experience including mid-career
professionals (for example, those who want to advance in or transfer to an
energy or environmental career, or to expand their skills by introducing
environmental components into their main area of expertise), new college graduates
who take this program either as the final formal education in support of a
professional career or as a step to Ph.D. program. Students entering this program are expected
to have a technical or scientific background, although those with an affinity
for environmental studies may be considered in special circumstances. Academic progress in EES concentration is
flexible. Full-time students can
finish the program in three semesters.
Part-time students may take two to three years to finish. All core courses are offered in the
evening. A limited number of need- and
merit-based graduate assistantship is available for full-time students within
and outside the department. Why this program?· This is an individualized course of study, where the student together with a faculty advisor selects appropriate course work from the resources of the University. · Department coursework tends to offer a mix of theoretical and applied study so that students develop necessary skills for future learning and the ability to immediately apply the fruits of their education. · For busy professional, evening courses allow for career development without career sacrifice. Professionals are also encouraged to use course projects to solve at-work problems. · For the full-time student, the vast resources of the Stony Brook faculty and research opportunities offer an exceptional learning environment. · Courses are taught by both academics and practicing experts who have enormous real-world experience and knowledge. This approach provides a balanced education of theory and concepts, their applications and practical usages. · Extensive opportunities for career development and networking are fostered through contacts with energy and environmental professionals who are involved in the program. The department maintains close ties to the business community, environmental organizations, and governments at local, regional, national, and international levels.
Approach
Requirements for M.S. Degree:Thirty credits (10 courses) drawn from core/required courses and electives are required for M.S. degree in Technological Systems Management with a concentration in Energy and Environmental Systems. A substantive degree project will also be required to complete the program requirements. Full-time students may complete the program in
one to two years. Part-time students,
typically those with full-time jobs, may take a reduced course load of a
course or two per semester, completing the program in two to three years. Required Courses: Core courses for Master’s Degree in Technological Systems Management program: EST 581--Methods
of Socio-Technological Decision Making Required courses for students in the Energy and Environmental Systems Concentration: EST 592 Sustainable Energy: Technologies, Systems, Markets, and Policies EST 593 Risk Assessment and Hazard Management These required courses are designed to enable the student to develop a skill set and appropriate analytical frameworks to address complex problems in energy and the environment. Electives: Each student will design a suitable course of study with the guidance of a faculty member. These courses may be offered within the Department of Technology and Society or by other departments of the University. Students may also work with individual faculty to develop independent study or research programs where no formal course work is appropriate. Examples of courses that may be suitable for a graduate program include: From the Department of Technology and Society: EMP 502 Management Accounting and Finance EMP 518 Program/Project Management EST 540 Marine Management EST 541 Groundwater Problems EST 553 Nuclear Security EST 576 Geographic Information Systems in Education and Research EST 584 Air Pollution and Air Quality Management EST 586 Environmental and Waste Management in Business and Industry EST 588 Technical Communication for Management and Engineering EST 597 Waste Management Systems and Principles From other departments: AMS 520 Mathematical Modeling in the Analysis of Public Systems AMS 571 Mathematical Statistics BEE 550 Principles of Ecology CHE 514 Transition Metal Chemistry CEY 501 Environmental Law CEY 509 Environment and Public Health GEO 564 Numerical Hydrology ESM 513 Strength of Materials MAR 512 Marine Pollution MBA 570 Entrepreneurship MEC 502 Conduction and Radiation Heat Transfer POL 531 Topics in Public Affairs: Planning POL 543 Environmental Politics and Policy SOC 511 Population Analysis This listing of courses is meant to be illustrative and is
not intended to limit the scope or direction of any student’s
particular area of study or specialization.
