Bachelor (Honours)
As we transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner, more sustainable energy, there is a growing demand for skilled engineers who can facilitate these changes.
To tackle global climate change, our energy sources are changing. And, as we transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner, more sustainable energy, there is a growing demand for skilled engineers who can facilitate these changes.
This course provides essential knowledge for navigating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. You'll gain a solid foundation in renewable energy, energy storage, and large-scale CO sequestration, and subsurface storage of hydrogen.
You'll also develop knowledge and skills for professional engineering practice, as well as a strong focus on practical problem solving, teamwork and project leadership.
