| Renewable Energy Engineering - 3657 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This program commenced in 2003 and is a four year full-time program. Discussions on course content were held with Australian manufacturers, major end-users, the NSW Sustainable Energy Development Authority, the Australian CRC for Renewable Energy and the industry representative association, Solar Energy Industries Association of Australia.
Consultation also took place as necessary with other schools within UNSW. In particular, the plans for this program have been developed in collaboration with the School of Mechanical Engineering, the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications and the Faculty of the Built Environment. All of these schools offer courses within the new program. Approximately half of the material for this new program is in common with the program in Photovoltaics and Solar Energy. However, this program in Renewable Energy Engineering encompasses a wider range of renewable energy technologies and their use. These include heat and electricity generation from solar thermal systems, photovoltaics, wind and hydro turbines, biomass, tidal and wave energy, geothermal systems, and also includes the important areas of solar architecture and the design of energy efficient buildings and appliances. Note Renewable Energy Engineering is also available as a component of the combined degree programs

The program structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfils the requirements of the degree. The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimize the student's choice of courses. While some courses are given twice a year, many courses are given only once a year and some once every two years. In addition, courses may have prerequisites and exclusions. Thus students should plan their enrolments appropriately.
