This new engineering major is designed to meet the demand for roles in energy efficiency, renewable energy technologies, fossil-fuel reduction, hydrogen systems, geo-energy options and environmental compliance.
The course is the first of its kind to offer the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to conceive, design, build and operate engineering processes relevant to a clean energy future.
Emphasising environmental and social responsibility – and aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and Australia’s 2050 net-zero carbon emissions target – the course also highlights sustainability principles and Indigenous perspectives in addressing globally significant energy engineering problems.
In your first year of study, you will complete Curtin’s unique engineering foundation year to gain the fundamental science, mathematics, data analytics, information science and computing knowledges that underpin the broader field of engineering.
You’ll then choose four specialisation units to complete, in an area such as power systems engineering, low carbon transition, subsurface energy engineering and energy conversion technologies.
In your final year, you’ll undertake an industry-guided capstone design project, integrating your fundamental knowledge to solve an industry problem in an energy engineering context. Ethical and sustainable decision-making and collaborative problem-solving will be key aspects of the project.
The course responds to the growing need for expertise in energy transition and has been designed with extensive input from industry. As part of the course, you’ll complete an industry-guided capstone experience.
Curtin University is committed to social good, sustainability and positive global impact.
This course has been designed with extensive input from industry and responds to the growing need for expertise in energy transition.
This course has been developed to align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and Australia’s plan to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
