Meet the growing demand for clean and sustainable energy.
Renewable Energy Engineering
What is Renewable Energy Engineering?
Renewable Energy Engineering is the designing, implementing and operating of large-scale energy projects using sustainable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro and geothermal.
Renewable energy engineers draw on multidisciplinary engineering capabilities to meet the growing demand for clean and sustainable energy solutions in sectors such as power generation, manufacturing and transportation. They impact society to move from traditional sources of electricity generation towards a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
This course opens later this year for enrolment for the Autumn semester of 2025.
What you will learn
You will be equipped to manage future smart energy grids to help nations transition towards renewable energy generation while providing reliable and stable energy infrastructure.
