Bachelor in Renewable Energy and Environmental Engineering

Bachelor in Renewable Energy and Environmental Engineering

The Bachelor in Renewable Energy and Environmental Engineering (BREEE) will train and develop professionals who will be able to develop, design, undertake and implement research in renewable energy and environmental solutions in the society. The program shall emphasize on natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change, building on the current and future impacts of global warming on ecosystems and biodiversity.

In the renewable energy space, students will be taught to design and implement renewable energy solutions such as solar power, hydropower, wind energy and bioenergy systems. The program also teaches the basic principles of electrical engineering. These principles include electrical circuit theories and analysis, power generation, transmission and distribution and the hybridization of the different renewable energy systems.

The environmental engineering aspects of the program seeks to develop the skills and knowledge to design and implement environmental solutions such as waste management, water supply systems, waste water treatment, groundwater management and the governance of river basins and watersheds.
