Course developed, fully approved by the University:

ENT 622 – Machine Learning for Materials Science in Clean Energy

Course Description: Cover broad guidelines and best practices regarding obtaining and treatment of data in materials science and device physics related directly to Clean Energy. Feature engineering, model training, validation, evaluation, and comparison. Include interactive Jupyter notebooks with example Python code to demonstrate important concepts, workflows, and best practices in the field.
Reasons for Addition: The Western New York (WNY) region has been experiencing an increasing workforce need in the Clean Energy sector over the past few years. ENT 622 is a core course for the newly developed Clean Energy track in master’s in data science and Analytics (DSA) track. This track, at its core, will extend the traditional ENT curriculum into the DSA space with Machine Learning and Data Analytics; the aim is to catalyze a new workforce breed of Clean Energy workers who are versatile and well-equipped to adapt to the evolving Clean Energy field.

ENT 221 – Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Implications

Course Description: Overview of the nanoscale world that pervades our lives; fundamental concepts in materials properties and structure; dynamics in the nanoscale that include atomic interactions and energy kinetics; nanoengineering utilized in fabrication and characterization technologies; social implications of nanoscale materials and technology, including ethical, legal, and environmental impacts. Offered occasionally.
Reasons for Addition: ENT 221 will serve to complement ENT 100 “The Age of Energy” and ENT 481 “Renewable Distributed Generation and Storage”. While these existing courses cover content on renewable energy from a top-down view, ENT 221 will teach students the content through a fundamental bottoms-up approach. On a broader context, the course will allow students to scientifically and critically assess any given technology that utilizes the nanoscale.
