LUCY COOPER BE IN RENEWABLE ENERGY ENGINEERING WHAT DO RENEWABLE ENERGY ENGINEERS DO? Renewable energy engineering is concerned with the generation or use of energy by sustainable methods such as biomass, energy efficiency, photovoltaics, solar architecture, solar thermal, and wind. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES You could work in any renewable energy engineering field such as manufacturing, quality control and reliability, computer-aided design of devices and systems, research and education, system design and analysis, balance of system areas, fault diagnosis and modelling, consultancy, policy formation and planning, or on projects in developing countries. “UNSW is one of the few universities in Australia offering an undergraduate program in Renewable Energy Engineering. Renewable energy research is at the forefront of innovation. At its heart are engineers using new technology and ideas to solve a big problem for which there is no clear answer. We not only need to develop these technologies, but also to understand the way society interacts with them and how to commercialise them.” RENEWABLE ENERGY ENGINEERING Renewable energy engineering encompasses a wide range of renewable energy technologies and their use. It draws together resources from around UNSW into a coherent degree supporting learning for this growth industry. Study areas include renewable energy technologies, systems and applications including biomass, complementary technologies, environmental and policy issues, solar architecture, solar thermal systems, photovoltaics and wind generators.

What do reneWabLe energy engineers do?Renewable energy engineering is concerned with the generation or use of energy by sustainable methods such as biomass, energy efficiency, photovoltaics, solar architecture, solar thermal, and wind.

career opportunitiesYou could work in any renewable energy

engineering field such as manufacturing, quality

control and reliability, computer-aided design of

devices and systems, research and education,

system design and analysis, balance of system

areas, fault diagnosis and modelling, consultancy,

policy formation and planning, or on projects in

developing countries.

“UNSW is one of the few universities in Australia offering an undergraduate program in Renewable Energy Engineering. Renewable energy research is at the forefront of innovation. At its heart are engineers using new technology and ideas to solve a big problem for which there is no clear answer. We not only need to develop these technologies, but also to understand the way society interacts with them and how to commercialise them.”

reneWabLe energy engineering Renewable energy engineering encompasses a

wide range of renewable energy technologies and

their use. It draws together resources from around

UNSW into a coherent degree supporting learning

for this growth industry. Study areas include

renewable energy technologies, systems and

applications including biomass, complementary

technologies, environmental and policy issues, solar

architecture, solar thermal systems, photovoltaics

and wind generators.

schooL of photovoLtaic and reneWabLe energy engineeringThe School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy

Engineering is internationally recognised for

research in the area of photovoltaics. However,

it doesn’t stop there. Our renewable energy

engineering interests extend to biomass, wind

energy, tidal power generation and sustainable use

of conventional electricity.

Our students live what they do in the purpose-built

Tyree Energy Technologies Building – a space

where renewable energy engineering research,

education and industry work together to develop

and implement sustainable energy technologies.

About half of what you study in this degree is common with

the photovoltaics and solar energy degree, but renewable

energy engineering looks beyond the sun as a source of

energy, encompassing a wider range of technologies and

their uses. It also addresses the important areas of solar

architecture and the design of energy efficient buildings

and appliances.

industriaL experienceWe love to produce graduates who are ready to hit the

ground running, so we make it a compulsory part of their

degree to complete at least 60 days of approved industrial

experience. Students need to find their own industrial training

places and they can do it within Australia or overseas.

professionaL recognitionThe BE (Hons) in Renewable Energy Engineering is fully

accredited by Engineers Australia, the professional body for

engineering in Australia.

degree optionsDual Degrees:

You can combine your Bachelor of Engineering
