Key Summary
Introduction
Energy Engineering is a multi-university master programme, jointly managed by the Faculty of Engineering of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering of the University of Trento.
Course Description
This course is the result of the increasing spreading of technologies connected with the spread generation and the optimized management of energy and the consequent increasing demand for engineers able to develop and propose efficient and innovative technological solutions to deal with the issues deriving from the progressive depletion of fossil non-renewable sources and the environmental impacts due to the use of energy. The course contents focus on the issues of energy efficiency in buildings and productive cycles, the energy production from middle-small sized plants of renewable sources, which have a reduced environmental impact and serve customers in the surrounding areas.

Career Opportunities
The course aims at training experts able to deal with the various aspects of planning, implementing and managing integrated energy systems, such as production plants supplied from renewable sources, low energy consumption buildings and networks able to transport electric and thermic energy from the production site to the local consumption sites.
Energy engineers work as independent professionals or in public and private companies, industries of the energetic and thermo-energetic sectors and public and private utilities. Graduates might be admitted to PhD programmes in the field.
Well prepared and ready for the job market. On the website of AlmaLaurea, you can check statistical data about graduatesโ satisfaction and their employability.
