ENERGY ENGINEERING

The field of Energy Engineering centers on the construction of energy systems.

Through modern technological processes, energy derived from its primary sources is controlled, converted and made available for its various uses by our increasingly energy-demanding society.

An energy system should be able to convert a form of energy into another one as efficiently as possible.

Energy Engineering is an integrated technology based on a combination of the fundamental disciplines in engineering: chemical, mechanical and electrical.

The major subjects for a professional in the field of Energy Engineering are thermodynamics, materials engineering, fluid mechanics, electric circuits, and control theory.

The reason for such requirements is that the field of Energy Engineering is very broad and comprises fossil-fueled electric plants, hydroelectric plants, nuclear plants and non-conventional electric systems.
