Learning Outcomes

  • Overview and Aims

    The aim of this course is to develop students understanding and analytical capability related to engineered energy systems. The course covers renewable energy sources, mechanical and thermal energy loads, engineering supply systems and energy conservation. The objectives of the course are:

  • To provide an overview of the engineering of energy systems.
  • To develop an understanding of renewable energy resources, thermal transport processes, mechanical power transmission and common energy converters.
  • To give confidence in solving thermodynamic problems, including the estimation of thermal and mechanical loads, and the performance of energy supply systems.
  • To provide a sound basis for later applications in energy engineering.
