Year 1: Students cover the fundamentals necessary to be an energy technologist; they learn about basic concepts of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering principles and mathematics; these subjects are supplemented by modules covering green design and the environment and socioeconomics of energy and the environment. Year 2: Students learn about energy conversion technologies that produce very little or no CO2; this enables students to understand and evaluate the benefits, drawbacks and the impact these technologies have on the environment and our industry; students also learn about current national and international climate policies and treaties. Year 3: Optional placement year; students have the option of undertaking a year in industry which offers valuable experience of the working environment, subject to availability of placements and visa/work permit restrictions for overseas students. Final year: Students learn to analyse conventional and green power generation cycles, alternative energy sources and alternative fuels, emissions control methods and future concepts of emissions control; a final year project into a topic of the students' choice such as: analysis of using bio-diesel in a real engine, financial implication of carbon trading, improving energy efficiency of a building teaches valuable skills in research and analysis and project planning.
