Energy Engineering is a degree in an emergent field of Energy in Transition, dealing with energy efficiency, reduction of fossil fuel use for energy generation. This major will open new geo-energy opportunities, such as geothermal, hydrogen systems, systems engineering, environmental compliance, sustainable energy, and conventional and emerging renewable energy technologies, 
such as our new unit on hydrogen production. 

The major is designed to establish Curtin as a recognised global leader in research, education and engagement for Energy and Resource Transition, with special emphasis on stewardship of air, water and land. This aptly fits within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the 2050 Australia for Net-Zero Carbon Emission, Malaysia’s NDC in UNDP Climate Promise and the Sarawak Post-Covid 19 Development Strategy 2030. Upon completing the course, you will be ready to assist in driving forward Energy in Transition technologies globally. 

Following your Engineering Foundation Year (EFY), you’ll embark on a comprehensive journey involving diverse aspects of energy engineering throughout the curriculum. As you progress, you’ll have options to choose various specialisations, including Energy Conversion Technologies, Low Carbon Transition, Subsurface Energy Engineering and Power Systems Engineering.
