电能在当今社会至关重要。它为制造和运输提供动力，提供热量和光线，是所有现代生活的一部分。社会面临的最大挑战之一是需要对环境造成最小影响的可靠能源供应。这个学位是对这种需求的回应。它培养了具有技术专长和技能的工程师来应对这一挑战以及围绕电源应用的所有复杂问题。要寻找可再生能源和碳中和能源并将其整合到现有电网中，需要创新的工程解决方案，其中涉及燃料电池，太阳能，风能，波浪能和潮汐能技术。此类创新的例子包括我们在冈比亚的能源项目，您有机会参加该年度的探险活动，将太阳能技术安装到农村社区。您研究各种技术主题，包括
Electrical energy is vital in today's society. It powers manufacturing and transport, provides heat and light and is part of all modern life. One of the biggest challenges facing society is the need for reliable energy supplies with minimum impact on the environment. This degree responds to that need. It produces engineers with the technical expertise and skills to tackle this challenge and all complex issues surrounding the applications of electrical power. The search for, and integration of, renewable and carbon-neutral energy sources into the existing power network requires innovative engineering solutions involving fuel cells, solar, wind, wave and tidal technologies. Examples of such innovation include our energy project in The Gambia and opportunities exist for you to be part of the annual expedition there to install solar technologies into rural communities.
