This new programme addresses the scientific, engineering and technical aspects of our global concerns about energy sustainability. It specializes in the fundamentals of energy and the environment, and applications for the benefit of humankind. All other disciplines in engineering are mature in terms of growth potential for business around the world – the sustainable systems projects have good growth potential. The course structure is designed to appeal to students with engineering, sciences or mathematics backgrounds, and is modular in format. This programme will: Prepare you as a specialist with unique expertise in the fundamentals of energy and the environment, their applications, and the ability to stay abreast of the field; Allow you to have a good knowledge and understanding of existing technologies as well as the ability to contribute to the design and development of new technologies and devices in this field; Teach you how to develop new technologies to extract energy from diverse energy sources, and to use existing and design new energy conversion devices. The programme benefits from an interdisciplinary combination of engineering research, materials research, and economics and management to give input on Energy Policy developments. The lead professor on this programme has a management background, so the programme is structured to include important input from management experts, and how to use management effectively during engineering projects. This programme analyzes the existing technologies and equips students with the basic principles behind sustainable energy systems, which rely on the sun, wind or waves. The methods of assessment are coursework and formal examinations. Many courses will include continuous assessment so that some or all of the work you do during the course counts towards the final mark.
