DIPLOMA OF RENEWABLE ENERGY ENGINEERING

OVERVIEW

Learn about the renewable energy industry and how to design, develop and implement renewable energy systems and technologies to create a more sustainable future for ourselves and generations to come.

In the higher education Diploma of Renewable Energy Engineering, you’ll gain a broad understanding of the industry. You'll focus on key technologies in the renewable energy sector, their design and Australia’s transition into green energy. You’ll also learn about the foundations of engineering practices, energy storage systems and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Build on your industry-targeted skills in maths, physics and Python programming.

Graduates of this course are eligible to apply for provisional Clean Energy Council (CEC) Grid-Connect Design Only accreditation.
