ARMOUR COLLEgE OF ENGINEERING<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> United states<br />

Department <strong>of</strong> energy (Doe), while<br />

Americans make up only a small<br />

percent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world’s population,<br />

we consume nearly one-quarter<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world’s energy. solutions<br />

to this demand that address <strong>the</strong><br />

dwindling supply <strong>of</strong> oil and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

fossil fuels will alleviate more than<br />

<strong>the</strong> increasing financial toll <strong>of</strong> our<br />

consumption. Viable alternatives will<br />

help to mitigate an environmental<br />

issue that is compounding<br />

every day.<br />

Researchers at Armour College<br />

<strong>of</strong> engineering are meeting this<br />

challenge with vigor, with <strong>the</strong> goals<br />

<strong>of</strong> developing interdisciplinary<br />

education and research programs,<br />

and commercializing technologies<br />

in areas related to energy<br />

and sustainability. projects are<br />

being conducted through <strong>the</strong><br />

interdisciplinary energy and<br />

sustainability <strong>Institute</strong>.<br />
