1. Bachelor's degree in Energy Engineering
2014-2015 academic year
INTRODUCTION
The bachelor’s degree in Energy Engineering will gain a clear vision of the energy field, focusing on aspects such
as efficiency, saving, management, generation, elements and the energy market. You will be trained in energy
resources; energy storage; energy management; energy sector planning; energy integration; the generation,
transport and distribution of energy; and the control of energy systems. You will learn to analyse the criteria of
sustainability, general efficiency and professional ethics that enable individuals, businesses and institutions to
implement energy saving policies. In addition to studying conventional energies, you will also gain in-depth
knowledge of renewable energies such as wind, solar, thermal, photovoltaic, biomass, geothermal, microhydro,
biogas, biofuel, hydrogen and fuel cells.
