 ong></div>\nEnergy usage and its sustainability are becoming crucially impor
 tant\nissues facing many organizations. Firms have to evaluate energy\nalter
 natives strategically and manage business processes efficiently to\naddress 
 the broader stakeholder values: environmental, economic and\nsocial. Simulta
 neously, engineering activities related to processes,\nproducts and services
  need to adapt to changing regulatory, tax, supply\nchain and demand environ
 ments. To achieve this, management and\nengineering perspectives need to be 
 integrated for effective energy\nmanagement. That's why Oakland University's
  School of Business\nAdministration and School of Engineering and Computer S
 ciences are\npartnering to deliver a new professional certificate program th
 at\nsupports the transition to a new energy economy by preparing\nprofession
 als to differentiate themselves in &nbsp;their careers, and help\ntheir orga
 nizations become sustainable enterprises. During the previous\ndecade, jobs 
 in the clean energy economy grew at a national rate of 9.1\npercent, compare
 d to traditional job growth of only 3.7 percent. 4.2\nmillion green jobs are
  expected to be created by 2038, and could provide\nas much as 10 percent of
  new job growth over the next 30 years (see\n"U.S. Mayors Green Jobs Report 
 of 2008").&nbsp;&nbsp;\n<div><img alt="" style="margin: 15px 0px 15px 15px;
