Overview
The generation, conversion, storage, and distribution of energy are key to the functioning of modern society. Your skills as an energy engineer will let you tackle some of the biggest challenges of the 21st century in shifting the economy away from fossil fuels. By combining specialist knowledge of energy engineering … For more content click the Read More button below.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate knowledge and expertise in the use of the methods, tools and ideas from sustainability, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computing that underpin energy engineering.
2.
Solve engineering problems in the generation, conversion, storage, distribution, and/or management of energy by competent application of technical knowledge in areas including physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, sustainability assessments, regulatory frameworks, power electronics, semiconductor physics, energy conversion.
3.
Use systems thinking to guide engineering practice, including articulating constraints on process design, equipment design, resource usage, developing process improvement plans, and liaising with scientists and engineers from other disciplines to develop appropriate and robust processes.
4.
Make responsible engineering decisions in the face of uncertainty, complexity, and incomplete information in consultation with stakeholders, via critical reflection, and through the planning, collection, and analysis of data from research, experimentation and simulations.
5.
Communicate complex multidisciplinary ideas effectively and professionally through a range of media to diverse audiences within and outside of energy process engineering.
6.
Conduct themselves professionally, ethically, and respectfully, be accountable as an individual, as members of teams, and as a leader of teams, while recognising the social and environmental obligations of energy engineers.
