Non-Award
This course is a major in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree.
Our Energy Engineering degree is designed to meet the demand for roles in energy efficiency, renewable energy technologies, fossil-fuel reduction, hydrogen systems, geo-energy options and environmental compliance.
The course is the first of its kind to offer the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to conceive, design, build and operate engineering processes relevant to a clean energy future.
Following your Engineering Foundation Year, you'll choose four specialisation units to complete, in an area such as power systems engineering, low-carbon transition, subsurface energy engineering and energy conversion technologies.
In your final year, you'll undertake an industry-guided capstone design project, integrating your knowledge to solve an industry problem in an energy engineering context. Ethical and sustainable decision-making and collaborative problem-solving will be key aspects of the project.
Emphasising environmental and social responsibility - and aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and Australia's net-zero carbon emissions target - this course also highlights sustainability principles and Indigenous perspectives in addressing global energy engineering challenges.
This course also gives you the flexibility to study additional specialisations, to either deepen your knowledge in energy engineering or broaden your expertise in other disciplines. See the full list of specialisations here.
How this course will make you industry readyThe course responds to the growing need for expertise in energy transition and has been designed with extensive input from industry. As part of the course, you'll complete an industry-guided capstone experience.
