Course Objectives
Course Content
This course provides a multidisciplinary exploration of engineering systems from a Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (SEES) perspective. Students engage in analytical modelling and computational simulation, primarily using MATLAB, to investigate the behaviour of complex engineering systems. The curriculum emphasizes the integration of fundamental theoretical principles with simulation-based analysis and applications, enabling students to analyse, model, and evaluate engineering systems and solutions across multiple engineering disciplines. The course also addresses environmental and sustainability aspects of energy systems, including emissions, resource efficiency, and environmental impacts associated with energy production and consumption. Energy systems are assessed not only in terms of technical performance and efficiency, but also with respect to environmental responsibility, sustainability considerations, and system-level decision-making.
