Renewable Energy Masters Degree http://engineering.illinois.edu/prospective-students/professional-development Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Thirty-two hours of credit, of which 20 must be 500-level ECE hours, are required. The 20 hours includes eight hours of ECE 599, Thesis. Only eight hours of credit in ECE 599 are counted towards the M.S. degree, even if more hours of ECE 599 are taken during the M.S. program. To complete the required 20 hours of 500-level ECE courses, 12 additional 500-level ECE hours, other than ECE 590, ECE 596, ECE 597, and ECE 599, must also be completed. There are 32 – 20 = 12 remaining hours needed to complete the M.S. program. These remaining hours may include virtually any 400-level or 500-level courses from any department, subject to the following restrictions. Credit in ECE 590, ECE 596, or ECE 599, or any similar reading or independent study courses or group seminars in other departments, cannot be used. Further, at most four hours of ECE 597 are allowed. Credit from courses listed in the Credit Restrictions section cannot be used. Questions concerning allowable courses should be directed to the ECE Graduate Advisor.

The demand for this product will go up every year for the first five years; the first year there will be 10,000 in production and first month, and every year an increase of 20 percent a month in production. Adjustments can be made in production if needed to increase or decrees production each month. This will create more jobs on China because of it being cheaper to produce there as well as the taxes paid there will also be less. Cost of production per item will be under $30 each, and the product will be sold for around $150 initially for a five times profit, then may be lowered to $120 because of competition over time.

The Architectural Building Engineering Technology Program, at both the associate and bachelor levels, combines the art of designing buildings in the context of their fundamental systems and components with the engineering and technical concepts of construction. The Architectural Building Engineering Technology Program is based upon the premise that buildings are designed and built using the team concept. As an integral member of that team, the architectural engineer must have the ability to create and construct buildings that will answer the economic, safety, technical, and aesthetic requirements of a project. This program allows the student to develop those necessary abilities by emphasizing the fundamentals of architectural design combined with the scientific and engineering aspects of planning, structures, environmental systems, and construction. The program is also designed to instill within the student a sense of professionalism and a desire to serve and contribute to society through the solutions of its problems in a way which is technically, environmentally, and socially acceptable.

Degree in portable renewable energy that would specialize in creating new things that can charge itself from solar power, and become smaller and smaller devices to hold more power, and more powerful solar panels to collect more energy. This field would require knowledge of math, science, and engineering. Calculus 1 and 2 would be for the higher paying jobs in it this field. Minor in astronomy also to have knowledge on different regions that have different sun like patterns, like Alaska which has long days so could gather a lot of energy for a long stretch, but then must be able to hold it without energy being wasted for a long time as well.
