The course focuses on delivery of the knowledge and skills required to address sustainability challenges across a broad spectrum of activities such as agriculture, industry, green technology and resource management.

Through a combination of solid engineering fundamentals covered in the first two years of the course and advanced energy engineering topics covered in the final two years, graduates of this course will be well-equipped to source, design, convert, transmit and supply useful energy to meet the world's present and long-term needs.

This course creates an awareness of the impacts of human activities on the environment and with the knowledge, skills and competence to identify the key sustainable practices that they can take in their personal life and in their community.
