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 credits, is one of three modules under the Graduate Certificate in Electrical Energy Efficiency and Sustainability, which is stackable towards the Master of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
