Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified.
Note: Courses required to fulfill a major requirement may not be used to fulfill minor requirements. However, one engineering course from this minor with course number 4000 to 5999 in the student's major can be used as a technical elective or advanced engineering elective to fulfill the student's major requirements. See curriculum below for details.

Details about double-counting restrictions between this minor and Engineering major requirements are as follows:
- Civil engineering, environmental engineering and environmental engineering/health science students may not count Energy Systems: Science, Technology, and Sustainability (GE 3300) toward the sustainable energy systems minor if this course is used to fulfill major requirements.
- Chemical engineering students and mechanical engineering students may not count Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (CHME 2320) or Thermodynamics (ME 2380) toward the sustainable energy systems minor since these courses are required in their respective majors.
- Chemical engineering students may not count Conservation Principles in Chemical Engineering (CHME 2308) toward the sustainable energy systems minor since this course is required in their major.
- Industrial engineering students may not count Engineering Economy (IE 4512) toward the sustainable energy systems minor since this course is required in their major.
