About
Renewable energy engineers are uniquely positioned to help society move from traditional sources of electricity generation towards a sustainable, carbon-neutral future. They draw on interdisciplinary perspectives and apply professional engineering capabilities to respond to clean and sustainable energy challenges, and meet a growing demand in the electrical, transportation and other critical sectors. The UTS renewable energy engineering program equips graduates with electrical engineering foundations so they can do more than just design future renewable projects; graduates have the practical skills and knowledge to connect renewable technologies into current and emerging electricity grids.
