education in energy and the environment
Training the next generation of leaders in energy and environmental issues is a key goal of the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. Students can enroll in Andlinger Center courses (course code ENE) on topics including sustainable design, biofuels, solar energy, geoengineering, and more. Students also have the opportunity to apply their knowledge to practice in laboratory courses through the design of sustainable building system components, such as temperature sensors, and the fabrication and testing of batteries.

Ashley Holmes: Securing a clean and resilient water supply
Ashley Holmes was struck by the focus of many engineering courses on water. Inspired by her coursework, she participated in an internship following her sophomore year through the Andlinger Center, dedicated to improving water and wastewater utilities’ services and climate resilience.
Inch by inch, this machine is leading soft robotics to a more energy efficient future
Princeton researchers have developed a flexible, lightweight and energy efficient soft robot that moves without the use of any legs or rotary parts. Instead, the device uses actuators that convert electrical energy into vibrations that allow it to wiggle from point to point using only a single watt.
