The study plan aims to develop the skills necessary to deal with the different issues and opportunities in the field of energy production and efficient energy use.
The alpine region in which the course is offered, is especially vocated to the topic but is also extremely sensitive to the environmental pressures of the present level of resources exploitation.
The professional profile of the master graduate in Energy Engineering is oriented towards the design and operation of small to medium size energy production plants, in particular exploiting renewable sources, combined heat and power (CHP) in district heating, and of energy efficient industrial systems and buildings. Energy conversion, energy distribution and energy utilisation systems are the main areas of interest.
The environmental sustainability of the energy utilisation and the reduced exploitation of natural resources will be the common basis for the different disciplines involved: electrical engineering, technical physics and building physics, fluid machines, industrial engineering.
