NSF Grant Leads to New Energy Services Degree

CSE's efforts have led to the Energy Services and Technology Program (EST) at Bronx Community College (BCC), CUNY.

The EST Program at BCC is funded with a grant of $900,000 awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It is housed in the BCC Physics and Technology Department. The co-principal investigators of this program are Dr. Reid Strieby, senior associate at the BCC Center for Sustainable Energy, and Dr. Luis Montenegro, chair of the Physics and Technology Department. The program has been approved by the New York State Department of Education to offer a new Associate in Applied Science degree in EST. It is the first of its kind at CUNY, and in New York City, to address the employment needs of the energy services industry, especially in housing, commercial properties, and institutional and other facilities.
