Can technology save the planet? As we consume more and more energy the consequences are very topical
issues. Increases in pollution, carbon dioxide and other emissions into the earth's atmosphere are causing
global temperatures and sea levels to rise, which in turn are leading to more severe weather like floods and
hurricanes and a threat to animals such as polar bears. Just turning our lights and heating on in our homes,
cooking our food and driving to work are all having an effect.
Whether technology can save the planet is a big question but advances in technology, engineering and
energy sources like solar, wind and wave power seem to be a step in the right direction to help reduce the
impacts of climate change. This is where energy engineering comes in. The search for renewable energy
sources and cleaner fuels to heat our homes and run our cars is essential to help stop the rate of climate
change. Renewable energy, i.e. energy that doesn't pollute or cause environmental damage, does seem to
be the way forward. This is energy that is derived from resources that are sustainable and cannot be
depleted. Resources such as the heat from the sun, the wind and the energy produced by waves are all
abundant, renewable and clean.
Energy engineering doesn't just concentrate on renewable energy. Some of the topics you may study on an
energy engineering course are listed below. You will need to check with the institutions directly for up-to-date
module information.

Some career possibilities

With an energy engineering degree you could pursue a career in engineering, conservation, consultation,
product design, facilities management or project management. Research in energy-related topics is
available and postgraduate courses in renewable energy and energy technology are available.

What do I need to get on a course?

Entry requirements will vary depending on the institution you wish to apply to and it is recommended that you
contact them directly for current details. Generally you may need the following:
UCAS Tariff: 260 - 340 points including science or mathematics related subjects
A-level: BCC-AAB at including a science subject and possibly mathematics
Advanced Highers: BCC - AAB including a science subject and possibly mathematics
Irish leaving Certificated: BBBBB-AABBB including science and/or mathematics
International Baccalaureate: 30-34 points
European Baccalaureate: 70-75%
Mature students will require a good pass in a relevant Access course
