Major : Energy Science and Engineering
Degree / Award Title : Bachelor of Engineering in Energy Science and Engineering

Aims of Major

This major is designed to cultivate a new generation of intellectuals and graduates equipped to tackle complex challenges such as the energy crisis, renewable energy adoption, global warming, climate change, and pollution. By transcending the limitations of traditional academic disciplines, this holistic educational approach is essential for addressing future energy security and environmental concerns on both local and global scales.

Intended Learning Outcomes of Major (MILOs)

Upon successful completion of this major, students should be able to:

  1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, technology, and engineering appropriate to the energy science and engineering discipline.
  2. Design and conduct experimental investigations to acquire relevant information, as well as critically analyze and interpret data.
  3. Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
  4. Work effectively as part of a focused or multi-disciplinary team.
  5. Identify, formulate, and solve energy and energy-related environmental problems by pursuing the development of innovative technologies that can generate clean and sustainable energy to address energy scarcity and combat pollution and climate change.
  6. Be conversant with the professional, social, ethical, health, and safety responsibilities of a competent engineer.
  7. Communicate effectively in both written and oral forms.
  8. Address energy supply, demand, and security issues and their associated environmental impacts in a global and societal context.
  9. Stay abreast of contemporary issues.
  10. Recognize the need for, and engage in, lifelong learning.
  11. Use mathematical or experimental tools and techniques relevant to the energy and energy-related environmental disciplines, along with an understanding of their processes and limitations.
  12. Use computer/IT tools relevant to the energy and energy-related environmental disciplines, along with an understanding of their processes and limitations.
