Electrochemical Grad schools for Battery Systems Engineering?

I’d like to get in this field and have been doing some browsing, and have come across some things I’d like to get clarification on.

Firstly, I’ve noticed that most of the schools that offer electrochemical courses don’t really go into the engineering side of things, but there have been a couple exceptions. IIT offers a interdisciplinary ‘energy engineering’ degree as a mishmash of different engineering fields:

and I’m assuming the ‘Electrochemical Engineering’ course can be taken as an elective :frowning:https://engineering.iit.edu/courses/che566)

Then we have UofI but only one electrochemical course is offered there:

http://chbe.illinois.edu/graduate-program/degree-programs/phd-requirements/courses

Outside of Illinois (where I reside), there’s more options like:

http://cec.cm.utexas.edu/education (although I’m not sure how much engineering this is)

http://bulletins.psu.edu/graduate/programs/minors/GRAD%20ESEMIN

From what I can tell it seems as if IIT offers the most specialized courses but it’s also the most expensive school.

Anyone with experience in this field with some kind advice on offer?

This is an undergrad section as are most here, look at the Forum Home to see the grad school area. There is a physics prof from IIT who posts here. @xraymancs
