COURSE DESCRIPTION
Become an engineer capable of solving the world’s greatest challenges
One of the biggest challenges humankind faces is the transition to a renewable energy economy. The success of this evolution depends on the next generation’s creative solutions. Our renewable energy engineers will have the specialised skills to make a difference.
What is renewable energy engineering Renewable energy engineering spans the disciplines of chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering. You will work across a range of technologies for renewable energy capture, conversion, storage, delivery and management. You’ll also choose courses in related areas of climate change policy, law, economics, and environmental sciences.
Course overview
Become job-ready through a combination of professional practical and elective pathway courses. Build critical technical skills in:
solar and wind
geothermal, hydro, ocean and hybrid systems
power electronics and renewable energy systems
bioenergy
energy storage systems
Career opportunities
To meet the global commitment to tackling climate change, highly qualified engineers are required. Engineers with specialties in renewable energy engineering will be in high demand.
In addition, there are community concerns about wind energy security and affordability. This has driven government and organisations to hire highly trained engineers with expertise in the multidisciplinary field of renewable energy. These engineers evaluate, design, operate and optimise renewable energy systems for power generation.
Professional outcomes:
renewable energy engineer
renewable energy systems designer
energy management consultant
energy accounting/auditing
energy policy development officer
renewable energy innovation
