Location: North Terrace Campus
Duration: 4 years (full-time or part-time? equivalent)
Degree/Award: Bachelor

Program Outline

Sustainable Energy Engineering enables development of long-term solutions to meet the world’s rapidly growing energy needs using alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and biomass as well as sustainable energy production from existing sources such as coal and gas. Students choose from three streams: chemical, electrical and mechanical. Each stream provides a strong technical and practical foundation in its own specialisation, together with a substantial component of cross-disciplinary studies covering specialised topics in sustainable energy.

Sustainable Energy Engineering (Electrical) is about the electrical technologies supporting renewable energy systems including solar and wind generation technologies, and the systems that we use to transfer electric energy across large distances. Graduates can expect to work in various industries involved with the development of the next generation of solar and  wind turbine systems, integrating renewable energy sources into the power grid and controlling power distribution networks which contain a mixture of conventional and renewable power sources. Sustainable Engineering (Electrical) is suitable for students interested in environmentally friendly electrical energy production through developing higher performance and lower cost renewable energy systems.
