Description of the Department or Unit

The Department of Sustainable Technology & the Built
Environment (STBE)

houses three academic programs: the Bachelor of Science (BS) in
Renewable

Energy Technology; the BS in Building Sciences, with two
concentrations; and the

Master of Science in Technology. The Department includes more than
35 full-time

faculty serving approximately 950 undergraduate and 30 graduate
students. STBE

has played an integral role in building the University's
sustainability agenda, which

features prominently in the University's Strategic Plan. Within
STBE, faculty

exemplify a commitment to applied research and interdisciplinary,
experiential

learning. Students in these programs have achieved notable
successes in national

and international competitions such as the Formula Sun Grand Prix
and American

Solar Challenge, the USDOE Race to Zero and Solar Decathlon, Solar
Decathlon

Europe, and the US EPA P3 program, among others.

The Building Sciences Program is structured to establish a broad
set of

foundational skills and knowledge related to the whole life cycle
of the built

environment, including design, construction, and operations. This
foundation acts

as a catalyst for growth and success in our graduates' careers.
Extending beyond

foundational principles, the program is committed to priming
students' minds to

deconstruct, organize, and solve a wide range of problems related
to the built

environment in a team-based setting. Students go on to career paths
in

architecture, construction, building performance assessment, and
facilities

management.
