Bachelor (Honours)
As we transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner, more sustainable energy, there is a growing demand for skilled engineers who can facilitate these changes.
To tackle global climate change, our energy sources are changing. And, as we transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner, more sustainable energy, there is a growing demand for skilled engineers who can facilitate these changes.
The course equips you with the fundamental knowledge required for an energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy as well storage and CO2 - sequestration of large-scale subsurface gas, such as natural gas and hydrogen.
You'll also develop knowledge and skills for professional engineering practice, as well as a strong focus on practical problem solving, teamwork and project leadership.
This course has been accredited by ECU as an AQF Level 8 Bachelor Honours Degree Award.

The energy industry is in the transitional phase moving away from fossil fuels towards wider adoption of cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Therefore, there will be a rising demand for new graduates to have the relevant skills to enable this transition. This provides opportunities for BEng(Energy Engineering)Hons students to secure work placements thus leading to graduate positions in the energy industry.
