Engineering (Electrical and Renewable Energy)

Renewable and electrical energy technologies is just a specialisation within electric technology regarding the creation of electric power from the broad range of sources, also with a unique focus on renewable energy sources. This consists of solar, wind, hydro, biomass and geothermal, and also the integration of those energy sources into hybrid energy supply and distribution systems. The course gives students with strong competencies in both the fundamental electrical engineering discipline areas with special focus on the utilisation, generation, management and design of renewable energy resources.The program is targeted on the growth of knowledge and techniques pertinent to professional engineering practice and together side a solid theoretical base, includes strong elements of technical problem solving, team work and project development. Because of this, as well as having multiple technical and technical skill abilities, graduates will get strong analytical abilities, and also have the ability to lead complex projects.The course gives a solid basis in dynamics, mechanics, math, and also the essentials of engineering design in the initial two decades of study, together side a broad basis in technology science including materials and manufacturing, computer aided design, programming principles, and also analogue and digital electronic equipment. From the final two decades of study, a range of units are contained covering more in-depth electrical power engineering issues alongside specialist studies on renewable and renewable energy sources and systems and their integration into a mixed energy environment.The first year with this course involves a listing of eight components which can be common across most engineering honours courses. This allows students the opportunity to develop a better comprehension of the various engineering disciplines on offer and also the flexibility, when desirable, to switch to some other technology discipline/course without penalty after the first period of study.
