Renewable energy engineers focus their efforts on developing new means for energy extraction and designing energy-efficient machinery. The sector for green jobs is continually growing, so students getting a degree in this field can expect to see a lot of job opportunities after graduation.
What is Energy Engineering? Some of the most interesting and productive developments in engineering have taken place at the interfaces between conventional engineering disciplines, for example bio-engineering which crosses the boundaries between medicine and engineering. Another good example is Energy Engineering. This is usually taken to mean the application of a mix of engineering disciplines , such as mechanical and electrical engineering, to solving the problems of extracting, collecting and utilising energy resources to satisfy human needs without destroying the environment.
