Program Overview

Program Overview

The program in Energy and Renewable Energy Engineering is a multidisciplinary program that covers the study of energy from both electrical and mechanical perspectives. It aims to study both traditional and renewable energy sources. Students acquire knowledge of energy flows, constraints, generation, transmission, distribution, consumption, and administrative knowledge during their studies.

Program Description

The program provides students with in-depth knowledge of traditional and renewable energy technologies and their applications. It covers topics such as thermal power plants, machine building, design, stability, water energy, tidal energy, wave energy, wind energy, solar photovoltaic energy, solar thermal energy, concentrated solar energy, biomass, and geothermal energy. The program also evaluates the theoretical and economic applications of renewable energy.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of this program are qualified to work in fields such as electrical power engineering, mechanical power engineering, and renewable energy engineering. They can join entities in the electricity sector, such as generation companies (traditional and renewable), transmission, and distribution, whether public or private.

Specializations

There are two specializations in this program:

1. Power Generation: This specialization focuses on the field of power generation, considering both traditional (thermal) and renewable energy sources.
2. Energy Management: This specialization covers the field of energy management, including energy auditing, energy efficiency, clean energy technologies, demand-side management, and energy economics.

Agreements with Other Universities

The program is in partnership with the University of East London (UEL), UK, to obtain a dual bachelor's degree. Students who join this agreement pay additional fees to cover external expenses for reviews/supervisory boards that take place in Egypt.
