Electrical power and renewable energy are specializations in electrical engineering concerning the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power from a wide range of sources, with special emphasis on renewable energy sources. The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Electrical Power and Renewable Energy Engineering (B.Sc. EE-EPREE) is an applied degree with learning outcomes closely linked to the labor market. The program consists of a range of core electrical power subjects, leading to in-depth studies relating to renewable energy systems. The applied nature of the program provides skills and competencies relevant to professional engineering practice along with a sound theoretical base. The program includes strong elements of practical problem solving, teamwork, project development and practical industrial experience.
In the third year of studies students engage in an in-field training experience. In their final year, students conduct an in-depth research study of a complex electrical power and /or renewable energy-based problem, utilizing a systems approach in the design and presentation of innovative engineering solutions. The consolidation of the skill set developed in the B.Sc. EE-EPREE program through the completion of a capstone project and work placement prepares graduates for exciting careers in the electrical power and renewable energy engineering.
