## Overview

Work within the renewable energy sector and create a cleaner environment to live in. Become an engineer with the vision and skills necessary to design systems and machines for the renewables industry, and learn how they are connected to the power distribution network.

This 4 year BEng Hons course prepares students for work within the emerging renewable energy industry and will allow you to make a difference in the world. Graduates will join a body of engineers with the vision and skills necessary to design systems and machines for the renewables industry. You will learn how to think innovatively and turn your ideas into useable technology.

Graduates with this mix of mechanical design, electronics, power systems and renewable energy engineering experience have many career opportunities available to them in this emerging sector. The course has a built-in year of work experience, where students work in industry during their third year, making it a highly practical degree.

So whether you want to engineer the next generation of renewable power systems or drive change and create ‘green cities’ then this degree will give you the knowledge and skills to do so.

## About this course

### Rated 5 Stars: Excellent for Teaching

Students undertake six introductory modules in year 1, covering subjects like mechanical design, renewable energy, electronics and mathematics. Practical learning is used to demonstrate the engineering principles behind the topics.

In year 2, six core modules extend students’ knowledge of power generation systems and electronics. Turbine technologies covering all aspects of rotary power generations offer an in-depth knowledge of renewable power generation via this technology.

Year 3 is normally a period of industrial placement. Students can choose to work in the UK, Ireland or Europe. Students can also study in the USA. These options lead to either the Diploma in Professional Practice (placement year), or the Diploma in International Studies if the year is spent studying abroad.

Year 4 enables students to explore engineering topics in more depth and there are optional modules to allow students to focus on different aspects of the sector. The final year also includes a major project to further advance and integrate technical and academic skills.

Innovation and entrepreneurship are important drivers for Renewable Energy Engineering and are taught as part of the course, along with ethics, risk and sustainability. These topic areas are all dependent on advances in materials science, computer aided engineering and fundamental science.

### Associate awards

Diploma in Professional Practice DPP

Diploma in International Academic Studies DIAS

Diploma in Professional Practice International DPPI

#### Engineering Design

This module is based on the execution of an industrially generated major design project

through multi-disciplinary team activity involving aspects of: project management, market

analysis, specification, concept design, budget costing, decision making, detail design,

production planning, manufacturing requirements and product costing.

#### Mechanical Science III

This module will permit the student to develop their understanding in the scientific and mathematical principles that underpin three areas of mechanical sciences: Strength of Materials, Mechanical vibration theory and Heat transfer.

Formal lectures, directed reading exercises, tutorial sessions, laboratory experiments, informal class quizzes, and peer discussion groups will form the learning activities that will lead to the intended learning outcomes.

Learning outcomes shall be assessed by (x2) formal in-class test and (x2) group laboratory experiments which take place throughout the duration of the module.

### Optional Modules

Optional modules are reviewed on a Programme each year and we may change the options available to you, to reflect our staff expertise, changes in Programme requirements or to reflect feedback that we have received from other Students, employers or other interested parties.

If your Programme contains optional modules, you will be provided with a list of these in good time so that you can choose the options right for you each year. Sometimes, we may not be able to run a particular optional module because not enough Students sign up for it or because a member of staff is not available to teach a module.

Where this may be the case, we will let you know when you are provided with your option choices, and you will be able to choose an alternative if one of your selected modules does not run.
