Well to Tank
• Well-to-wheel analyses• Total fuel cycle for feedstocks • Powertrain efficiency
• Full life cycle assessment• Vehicle production and disposition • Well-to-wheel analysis• Vehicle miles travelled
• Sustainability assessment• Mineral resource, land use constraints

Assessment of carbon neutral technologies and policies including energy supply and demand strategies
Education
Programs:• CoE/SNRE Dual M.S. Degree Program (Keoleian)• Hydrogen Energy Technology Concentrations (Thompson)• Sustainable Energy & Mobility Concentrations (Skerlos)• InterPro programs (AUTO, PIM, GAME, Design Science, …)• Short courses & Summer Programs
Goal: Graduate diverse students with advanced knowledge of sustainable energy science and technology, and abilities to design and develop systems to meet global needs
CConcentrations
Undergraduate / Graduate
Degree Programs
Continuing Education
Short Courses &Summer Programs
• Goal: Promote public understanding of and interest in sustainable energy science and technology, and increased participation by under-represented minorities and women
• New course on communicating transportation energy science
• Professional development courses for teachers
• Develop instructive exhibits
• Establish a diversified environment within the ERC to a level that is consistent with, or exceeds national demographic levels
• Use existing resources:
• Augment/leverage through funding from:
• REU, RETI, and RET grant opportunities
• 21st Century Jobs Fund
• UROP
• Office of Women in Engineering
• DAPCEP
• Detroit Science Center
• AA Hands On Museum
• Financial Aid Office
• MEPO
• Office of Engineering Outreach
• Focus:HOPE
Outreach & Diversity
Commercialization
• Resources:• UM Technology Transfer Office, MSU Office of Intellectual Property, MIT
Technology Licensing Office, NCA&T Office of Outreach and Technology Transfer
• Innovation Partners: Ann Arbor Spark, Ann Arbor IT Zone, MUCI, MEDC, NextEnergy, NCMS, SBAM
• Goal: Assess and commercialize viable technologies
Existing Collaboration among PI’s• Energy & Transportation:
• W. E. Lay Automotive Laboratory• Automotive Research Center• GM CRL in Engine Systems Research• DOE LTC Consortium (with MIT as
