COURSE DESCRIPTION
This degree explores the best ways to make use of renewable energy technologies, including solar thermal systems, photovoltaics, wind and biomass. It borrows much of its structure from other areas of engineering, drawing resources from all around UNSW into a consolidated degree supporting learning for this growing industry.
Many elements of this degree are drawn from Photovoltaics & Solar Energy, but it looks beyond the sun as a source of energy, encompassing a wider range of technologies and their uses. It also addresses the important areas of solar architecture and the design of energy-efficient buildings and appliances. To get you work ready, you’ll apply your skills through 60 days of approved industry training.
Future careers
Careers in renewable energy engineering are becoming more popular as our?global awareness of sustainability?grows. As the size of the sector grows so too does the number of jobs for renewable energy engineers.
Graduates of this degree can work in a wide range of companies, designing, installing and operating renewable energy generating systems such as wind, solar, biomass or hydro systems. You could also work on designing and constructing energy efficient buildings.
