Subject Description

Can technology save the planet? As we consume more and more energy the consequences are very topical

issues. Increases in pollution, carbon dioxide and other emissions into the earth's atmosphere are causing

global temperatures and sea levels to rise, which in turn are leading to more severe weather like floods and hurricanes and a threat to animals such as polar bears. Just turning our lights and heating on in our homes,

cooking our food and driving to work are all having an effect.

Whether technology can save the planet is a big question but advances in technology, engineering and

energy sources like solar, wind and wave power seem to be a step in the right direction to help reduce the

impacts of climate change. This is where energy engineering comes in. The search for renewable energy

sources and cleaner fuels to heat our homes and run our cars is essential to help stop the rate of climate

change. Renewable energy, i.e. energy that doesn't pollute or cause environmental damage, does seem to be the way forward. This is energy that is derived from resources that are sustainable and cannot be

depleted. Resources such as the heat from the sun, the wind and the energy produced by waves are all

abundant, renewable and clean.

Energy engineering doesn't just concentrate on renewable energy. Some of the topics you may study on an energy engineering course are listed below. You will need to check with the institutions directly for up-to-date

module information.
