Sustainable Energy Engineering involves applying the principles of energy conversion and use. The course investigates renewable energy sources, such as wind energy, solar energy and other heat sources. Youll learn about the design and operation of wind turbines, solar energy panels and other equipment associated with alternative energy. Governments are trying to balance economic growth with protecting the environment. This course is a direct response to the need to produce innovative graduates with qualifications in the energy field in particular. The first two years of the course will introduce you to the fundamental areas of engineering. Modules in mechanical and electrical engineering are included along with specialist energy and traditional energy sources.<br><br>In Year 3, youll specialise further in transport, efficient energy use and energy design. In your final year, youll focus more on smart technologies, simulation and project work. The course will prepare you to work in the energy field by exposing you to the fundamental concepts of energy sources, generation, distribution, consumption and optimisation. Youll also study more specialised topics such as green technologies, as well as national and international energy markets and how they relate to energy production, consumption and optimisation.<br>If youre interested in helping create a better world or just interested in the technologies, this course will set you on the way to a rewarding career in the energy business.
