About Course
This module serves as the capstone of the Graduate Certificate in Electrical Energy Efficiency and Sustainability, enabling learners to integrate and apply knowledge gained from prior modules in a practical, industry-relevant project.
Working individually, learners will undertake a comprehensive energy assessment of a selected system or facility, using real-world data and measurement tools to identify inefficiencies and propose actionable solutions.
The module emphasises critical thinking, problem-solving, and professional communication, guiding learners through the process of project scoping, data collection, analysis, and reporting. Learners will also evaluate the broader implications of their proposed solutions, including sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.
This module, worth 6 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits, is taken concurrently as part of the Graduate Certificate in Electrical Energy Efficiency and Sustainability, which comprises three modules. The certificate can also serve as a pathway to the Master of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
