Opleiding: Energy Engineering and Management
Learning purpose
The use of energy has been a key in the development of the human society by helping it to control and adapt to the environment. Managing the use of energy is inevitable in any functional society. In the industrialized world the development of energy resources has become essential for agriculture, transportation, waste collection, information technology, communications that have become prerequisites of a developed society. The increasing use of energy has also brought with it a number of serious problems, some of which, such as global warming, present potentially grave risks to the world.
The large-scale use of renewable energy technologies could mitigate or eliminate a wide range of environmental and human health impacts of energy use and support a long term sustainable energy availability. Renewable energy technologies include biofuels, solar heating and cooling, hydroelectric power, solar power, water- and wind power. The Master Program Energy Engineering & Management is part of the Knowledge Innovation Centre InnoEnergy and therefore supports the aims of the European Union to achieve a climate-neutral and sustainable Energy supply.
Target audience
The target group for the Executive Master Program Energy Engineering and Management (EEM) are young professionals (age 27 - 40) identified as high potentials in utility companies, energy suppliers or manufacturers for power generation (e.g. photovoltaic, wind/water power, local energy suppliers).
Programme
The profile of targeted industry is focused on companies dealing with generation, transportation, distribution, storage and sales of energy (electrical, thermal, etc.), their suppliers and energy-intense industrial sectors. Graduates of the program stand out due to an extensive overview on present and future energy systems and their elements. They are capable to significantly participate in the successful introduction of new sustainable energy systems and to rate not only the sustainability but as well aspects of operating efficiency, availability and safety and consider them in an adequate way.
Learning targets are therefore to understand, quantitatively describe, evaluate and optimize the elements of energy systems in particular and their complex interactions. The graduates are able to understand innovation processes and can effectively and successfully apply their knowledge either in existing companies or in the foundation of "start-ups". Thereto, professional, methodical, process and management knowledge is essential, as interceded in the modules of Energy Engineering & Management (EEM). On top of this, internationalization and mobility are key factors of the Master Program, since the energy sector is acting internationally.
