The power generation industry is facing a radical upheaval; the pace of change is breathtaking. The consumption of conventional energy sources such as coal, oil and natural gas must be reduced to protect the environment. At the same time, the need for renewable energies is greatly increasing. The global conversion to regenerative energies such as solar energy, wind power or geothermal energy increases the need for qualified engineers with an interdisciplinary background.
The future fields of application in industry are just as diverse as the challenges. Exciting tasks are emerging for dedicated professionals. To meet these new challenges, the Energy and Environmental Engineering study programme provides fundamental knowledge ranging from industrial thermal processes to electrical systems. A basic understanding of economic processes and sustainable development is equally important.
Some common career paths are Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Hydrologists are few of them.
