This course is designed to provide a high level of engineering and technical expertise in energy conversion processes, combined with the application of practical abilities in management-related issues. The course puts a strong emphasis on the context of renewable and sustainable energy technologies and the built environment, and combines this with effective management skills, economic appraisal, and an understanding of the current policies and regulations that are applicable at UK, EU and international level. Advanced study in engineering-related research methodologies provides invaluable experience either towards further academic study or industry-based research and development. Students will develop: the ability to communicate ideas effectively in written reports, verbally and by means of presentations to groups the ability to exercise original thought the ability to plan and undertake an individual project interpersonal, communication and professional skills Students on the course will cover all forms of energy conversion including cooling technologies, renewable energy technologies, combustion & biomass, advanced heat transfer and fuel cell technology. The course also includes practical subjects such as management & UKEUInternational regulations & policy, research methodologies, economic appraisal, CFD and materials science. The introduction of this course coincides with the huge demand for young, highly trained engineers who have strong enthusiasm for sustainability and the environment. This MSc can be used to gain full Chartered Engineer (CEng) status as appropriate. Previous research projects have included: a comparision study of solar Photo Voltaic (PV) & wind turbine power generation for domestic application a feasibility study of PCM impregnated carbon composites CO2 capture & storage by mineralisation of waste aggregates simulation of an integrated CHPground source heat pump system for a library Scholarship information can be found at http:www.nottingham.ac.ukEngineeringFundingPostgraduateFunding.aspx
