COURSE DESCRIPTION
Highlights
Prepare yourself for a career in sustainable engineering, one of the top 25 emerging fields in Australia (National Skills Commission, 2021).
With global targets for renewables on the rise, renewable energy skills and knowledge are critical in our national efforts towards net zero emissions.
Graduate with the ability to engineer solutions which are balanced on social, economic and environmental grounds.
Develop in-depth understanding of existing electrical systems that need to integrate and accommodate for future renewable power generation.
Design renewable power systems and manage renewable energy projects across a range of industries.
Your engineering degree features common units in the first year that combine broad foundation principles with a wide range of major choices, giving you flexibility and options before you choose your career specialisation.
Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is embedded in the curriculum and it is a core component for all engineering students. WIL allows you to graduate with a portfolio of professional skills that provides evidence of your professional competencies.
You are required to undertake 60 days of approved work experience in the engineering environment as part of your work integrated learning.
Why choose this course?
Renewable energy sources play a vital role in the continued reduction of our society’s carbon footprint. Understanding their availability, limitations and challenges is critical to engineering energy solutions which are balanced on social, economic and environmental grounds.
By studying a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Renewable Power), you will gain an in-depth understanding of energy systems. You will gain hands-on experience working with technologies to generate electricity from renewable sources, including photovoltaics, wind power, solar thermal power, hydropower, and wave energy.
Careers and outcomes
We will prepare you for future engineering careers, where you will create value within economic systems that tackle global challenges like climate change, waste production, energy efficiency, water scarcity and air pollution.
