INTRODUCTION
Energy systems engineering is an exciting and unique undergraduate engineering degree program which we are offering keeping in the view the energy and power exigencies of the era and the fulfilment of our commitments to sustainability of energy resources which would not only suppress the carbon footprint but would also open new avenues of entrepreneurial enterprises of our young generation; the corner stone of our Department of Energy Systems Engineering. This B.Sc. degree is a first of its kind in the country with a curriculum devised to address the need for developing and implementing alternative sources of energy fuels at the undergraduate level. More specifically, the program incorporate elements of the old fuel Science undergraduate program with the addition of courses focused on renewable energy and agro-energy engineering as well as professional electives on business, finance and management. The curriculum is sufficiently flexible, broad, and diverse to enable students to tailor their educational experience to particular interests, background, and expected role in the society.
