BEng Energy and Sustainability Engineering
City St George's, University of London
About this course
BEng in Energy and Sustainability Engineering, an engineering degree focusing on sustainable development, renewable energy systems, and thermal power. Core topics include Programming, Circuit Design, Data Analysis, Statistics, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students can choose to take an optional placement year between the second and final years. The first year covers core foundations through Engineering Design 1, Introduction to Mechanics of Materials and Manufacturing, Engineering Science, and Introductory Mathematics and Programming. The second year advances these principles via Engineering Design 2 - Energy, Mathematics 2, Geology and Soil Mechanics, and Data Analysis for Engineers. The final year concentrates on specialized applications through Renewable Energy Systems, Energy in the Built Environment, Energy Policy and Regulations, and Energy Storage and Hydrogen Economy. Students also complete a substantial Individual Project in the final year.
