About CESIR

Mission

The Mission of the Center for Energy Security and Infrastructure Resilience is to prepare Midshipmen to address the energy and infrastructure-related issues that they will face in their careers, both as leaders in the United States Navy and Marine Corps, and as civilians after completion of their military service. The Center will develop interdisciplinary lectures and seminars for insertion into core courses, and develop new elective courses for both engineers and non-engineers. The Center will also provide for research and professional training opportunities for Midshipmen. Additionally, the Center will arrange for topical special lectures for Midshipmen, Faculty, and Staff, and provide opportunities for enhancing Faculty research and funding.

The Center is a multidisciplinary organization, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the challenges it will address. The chart below indicates the departments and functions at the United States Naval Academy that comprise the CESIR effort.
