Program Overview

Description

The Master of Science in Renewable Energy Engineering program offers advanced training in the area of renewable energy systems. This program is designed to provide engineers specific training in advanced areas of renewable energy technology. The emphasis is on the design, analysis and implementation of energy systems, with particular emphasis on renewable energy systems. Furthermore, the program is designed to provide engineers with training in advanced areas of renewable energy technology. The sustainable development of the renewable energy sector in most countries has been rapidly increasing over the past decade. A need has emerged for qualified engineers to deal with the project in all fields related to renewable energy applications. General characteristics of the new or developed program: This master�s program focuses on three aspects in particular: technological innovations, management of sustainable energy systems, and economic as well as legal frameworks. Technological Innovations: Participants acquire a basic technical knowledge in the area of alternative energy production. The fast-changing nature and development of this sector are specifically considered. Focal points are solar energy, wind power, biomass, biogas, small hydropower stations, photovoltaics, biofuel, and geothermal technology as well as issues, such as energy saving and energy efficiency. Management of Sustainable Energy Systems: Convey skills, such as project development, project financing, project operation, and knowledge of business management. Furthermore, participants obtain a detailed market overview on selected countries leading in renewable and clean energy. General Economic and Legal Framework: Participants obtain knowledge on the general economic and legal frameworks of national directives and legal provisions of selected international countries.
