ACEP short courses are 4-7 day experiential learning opportunities on a specific energy topic. Short courses are designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and many short courses offer the option of industry and/or community members participating alongside the students. Short courses are opportunities for students, working professionals, and community members to immerse in community energy projects, experience real-world energy and engineering concepts, build a collaborative professional network, and expand workforce pathways.
