This course is designed to enable science and engineering graduates to assess different energy supply options. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of modern sustainable, renewable and conventional technologies for a wide range of applications.
Due to a growing skills shortage in the energy sector, especially in emerging energy technologies, industry requires graduates with specialist knowledge and multidisciplinary ability. A broad understanding of energy technologies and more practical engineering skills are provided throughout this course.
Students will develop:
- a solid understanding of existing energy technology and its application, and an appreciation of the economic, legal, social and ethical aspects of sustainable energy
- the technical knowledge and skills to prepare them for a leading career in the field of sustainable energy systems
- the understanding required to design and critically analyse sustainable systems for energy efficiency, energy storage and energy conversion
- decision making powers in applying sustainable energy engineering to buildings, electricity generation, industrial processes and transport infrastructure
- the ability to exercise original thought
- the ability to communicate ideas effectively in written reports, verbally and by means of presentations to groups
