Bachelor Of Energy Engineering With Honours

As global living standards rise, the increasing reliance on fossil fuels for power generation has raised concerns about resource depletion. Shifting from conventional energy sources to renewable resources is essential to address this challenge. Renewable energy offers a cleaner, sustainable alternative while reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

This energy engineering degree programme provides a comprehensive understanding of both conventional and renewable energy resources, preparing students to meet national and international energy goals. The curriculum covers the entire energy spectrum—from fundamental principles to energy generation, storage, and industrial applications. A key focus is the in-depth study of conventional energy sources like natural gas, coal, and crude oil, alongside sustainable alternatives such as biogas, biomass, wind, solar, hydro, and emerging energy technologies. This specialised training equips graduates to contribute effectively to the evolving energy sector.
