Energy Fundamentals
A weeklong course on the U.S. energy sector — its history, science, and economics — with a focus on Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. The 2026 course was offered in two identical sessions.
Energy Fundamentals provides a broad overview of the U.S. energy sector. Over five days, participants are exposed to the history, science, and economics of producing and consuming energy — from molecules in the ground to electrons on the grid to the policies that shape both.
It is built for early-career professionals, those transitioning into energy, and anyone in industry, government, or the community looking to deepen their knowledge and expand their network. No technical background is required.
Both 2026 sessions covered the same curriculum, with full-week and individual-day attendance options.
