About this course
**Overview**
As the demand for alternate energies grows, so does the demand for experienced Energy Engineering graduates. This course will help you understand the technological and digital developments that will shape the energy industry of the future. And you’ll be given integrated learning opportunities from the outset that often reflect a real industrial context, supporting the development of your soft and hard engineering knowledge and skills. These learning opportunities will be consolidated in industry while on placement.
This course is backed by the East of England Energy Group and accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Energy Institute (EI). It was established in collaboration with major energy industries and their supply network. These industry connections have shaped the design and delivery of our programme. Its content is tightly linked to the skills the industry requires, plus you’ll benefit from an impressive network that will enrich your learning experience.
**About**
Investment in a sustainable energy sources is at an all-time high, and that includes a strong industry focus on the next generation of engineers with the appropriate skillset. Interaction with industry is a key component of this course, which opens significant career pathways and focuses on the sustainable future of energy production, usage, and supply. On this course, you’ll apply your skills to increase efficiency and further develop sustainable sources of energy, building operations, and manufacturing processes.
East Anglia is a significant region for energy engineering, and you’ll see the benefits of our connections with local industry from the very start of your course. We place a strong emphasis on ‘soft skills’ – building your network through site visits, guest lectures, and opportunities for short-term internships and placements, facilitated by our SELECT scheme. Our close partnerships with major engineering companies encourage and promote innovation and have shaped the design and delivery of the course.
Each of our engineering courses follows an integrated programme structure for the first year. This is designed to provide you with a broad insight into the incredible potential of Engineering as a discipline. In your second year, you’ll focus more closely on Energy. You'll be able to enrich and tailor your experience by choosing optional modules, so that your learning is limitless.
You’ll benefit from and experience our connections with local industry right from the start of your course. Through meeting role-models, attending site visits and networking, we aim to help you decide which energy sector you may wish to consider spending a year working in industry between your second and third year.
This course is for those students with an interest in the sustainable future of energy production, usage, and supply. As well as gaining a solid grounding in the foundations of engineering as a wider subject, you’ll be introduced to the specifics of energy engineering by practicing energy engineers and graduate as a highly employable and well-connected individual.
