Energy & Environmental Engineering

About this course

Energy and Environmental Engineering addresses one of the defining challenges of our time: the need to supply reliable, affordable energy to a growing global population while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change. It is a discipline that combines the engineering fundamentals of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and electrical systems with environmental science, materials engineering, and systems thinking, applied to the design, operation, and improvement of energy generation and distribution systems. Engineers who work in this field are central to the transition to renewable energy, the improvement of energy efficiency, and the development of the infrastructure that will characterise a low-carbon economy. At Edinburgh Napier University, this four-year full-time programme covers the core engineering disciplines relevant to energy systems alongside the envir
