The goals of this program are to enable students to:
- Understand the global energy landscape and its dependence on fossil fuels, as well as the main policies for the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
- Analyze traditional electricity generation technologies using coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy
- Learn about new electricity generation technologies using renewable resources: wind, solar, hydroelectric, biomass, ocean energy, etc.
- Study hydrogen energy as a new energy carrier and understand its importance in energy storage and transportation
- Learn the importance of smart grids, distributed generation, and electric mobility as elements that will transform the city of the future and make it more sustainable.
- Learn the management methodology applied to renewable energy projects
- Design and implement a renewable energy project.
- Learn work methodologies (including computer tools) currently used by companies in energy-related projects.
