Course details
Environmental & Energy Engineering is the application of scientific and engineering principles to activities which protect, enhance and improve the environment. Energy engineering focuses on hydrology, water resource management, and water and wastewater treatment design. Energy Engineering focuses on wind, wave, tidal, biomass and energy sustainability issues. Energy Engineering and its inextricable relationship to the environment is an increasingly important aspect of global sustainability.
The programme provides an opportunity for Level 6 engineering or Level 7 construction/ architecture/architectural technology graduates to acquire skills and knowledge in the specific disciplines of environmental and energy engineering. The environmental stream concentrates primarily on the water industry; the energy stream includes modules on Wind Energy,Building Energy Rating and Energy and the Environment.
The programme aims to up-skill and re-skill construction industry personnel including those in the target cohort with Level 6 and Level 7 qualifications in the construction disciplines including architectural technology, architecture and construction.
This programme offers two complementary streams; the environmental stream and the energy stream. The environmental stream covers a wide range of relevant topics including water supply and treatment, wastewater treatment, hydrology and hydraulics, waste management, water quality and environmental impact assessment. The energy stream incorporates building energy, a range of renewable energies including wind energy and environmental & energy policy. A mathematics module is also included as an elective option providing learners with the opportunity to ultimately potentially progress to the Level 7 BEng in Civil Engineering programme or the Level 8 Certificate in Environmental & Energy Engineering. Learner choice is provided in each semester through the range of module elective options available.
Admission Requirements:
- A minimum of a Level 6 qualification in engineering or a Level 7 in construction/architecture/ architectural technology related qualification. Equivalent recognition may be given through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process on an individual case-by-case basis to candidates who have not achieved this academic standard but who can demonstrate significant relevant professional experience in the discipline of Environmental & Energy Engineering.
