Net Zero Engineering Fundamentals

This credential is designed to impart a comprehensive understanding of the significance of energy to a diverse audience, including industry leaders, managers, experts, non-experts, and political leaders. Grounded in the fundamental principles of energy and its historical role in shaping society, students will gain insights into the critical importance of energy transition, as well as the essential tools, materials, and technologies required to achieve a net-zero future. It is imperative to recognise that the laws of thermodynamics ultimately define the boundaries of what is achievable by humans. Therefore, all concepts will be thoughtfully connected to these principles in a non-technical presentation, ensuring that students are well-prepared to make informed decisions within their respective fields or businesses as they set out to achieve net-zero.

• Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of energy transition science fundamentals.
• Apply systems thinking in integrating scientific, technical, economic and social aspects of the transition to net zero.
• Communicate the science and engineering of energy transition to stakeholders in a compelling manner.
• Understand the importance of energy transition to local First Peoples and other diverse cultures.
• Demonstrate lifelong learning habits, teamwork and leadership abilities.
