BEng (Hons) Energy Engineering Bachelor's degree at Teesside University

Explore aspects of energy use including energy sources, energy generation, transportation, private and industrial consumption, and how transition to clean energy is the main driver behind energy policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and achieving net zero economies. You gain an overview of global and regional renewable energy landscapes, the evolution of renewable energy cost compared to fossil fuels, and the socio-economic footprint of the energy transitions.

This module will introduce you to the fundamentals of electrical circuit theory and how to apply it to analyse simple electric circuits. The module will also introduce you to electromagnetic energy conversion and AC power. The module is taught with lectures, seminars and related practical work.

This module introduces the range of mathematical skills that are relevant to an engineering degree. You revisit and develop your knowledge of the fundamentals of algebra, trigonometry and basic statistics. The central ideas of vectors, matrices, complex numbers, and differential and integral calculus are also examined.

You develop and enhance the practical, professional and electrical engineering skills necessary for success in both the academic and work environment. There is a significant practical element which enables you to develop your knowledge, confidence and the fundamental principles of electrical engineering design methods and laboratory practice.

You look at engineering materials in lab-based practical sessions. Fundamental relationships between processing, structure, properties and performance are explored to highlight factors which influence the suitability of materials for various engineering applications.

This module introduces the student to the basic principles of fluid mechanics, properties of fluids, hydrostatics, continuity equation, Bernoulli's equation, flow measurements, real flow in pipes, friction losses and momentum equation. It deals with the transfer of heat, energy for solids, liquids and gases.

You develop mathematical knowledge in differential equations and numerical methods and extend your base of techniques to solve a variety of problems which arise in engineering domains. The emphasis is on developing competence in the identification of the most appropriate method to solve a given problem and its subsequent application.

Explore computer aided design techniques used to analyse the thermal performance of a commercial building, including detailed consideration of the building façade in association with the effects of thermal mass, passive solar control and variations in casual heat gain.

You cover key areas, including computer-aided decision making in energy planning, considering methods and tools, environmental impact, legislation, and social implications. Explore meteorological systems, weather monitoring and forecasting, tidal systems and predictions, marine geography and hydrography, maritime, coastal and on-shore environmental issues.

Study the latest innovations in the hydrogen economy, including how it is produced, and its many applications in transportation and electricity generation. You learn about grey, blue and green hydrogen and how it can be used in cars, houses, for portable power and more.

In this module, you develop your skills and knowledge in applying 3-D solid modelling and surface modelling to product design, using industry standard software. You gain a thorough understanding of computer modelling, and how to apply these skills to design engineering components and products.

Explore the basic features, systems, components, advantages and challenges of renewable energy including solar, geothermal, wind and tidal. You also look at the fundamental engineering and physical principles of each system.

You have the option to spend one year in industry learning and developing your skills. We encourage and support you with applying for a placement, job hunting and networking. You gain experience favoured by graduate recruiters and develop your technical skillset.

This module aims to provide you with the capability to design and analyse electrical power circuits and systems. You learn a broad range of topics related to generation and conversion of electrical power. The module is delivered through a combination of lectures, guided reading, laboratory sessions and tutorials.

You address the environmental impacts from industrial and human activities and the need of a sustainable environmental engineering approach to future developments. You study key sustainability concepts and technical skills essential for an exploration of environment and sustainability and develop a broad and deep understanding of current industry environmental problems.

This module extends the development of independent learning skills by allowing you to investigate an area of engineering or technology for an extended period. You receive training in writing technical reports for knowledgeable readers and you produce a report or dissertation of the work covered.

The demand for energy – to run electrical devices, heat and cool buildings, and maintain industry – continues to grow and places considerable strain on the natural environment. You gain the knowledge and skills to implement suitable alternative energy technologies and understand their economic, social and environmental benefits within a broader context.

The emergence of Industry 4.0, often referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, has been attributed to advancing automation, decentralisation and system integration and cloud computing. You will learn sustainability is represented as the synergy between environment, economics, and society.
