Bachelor's degree in Energy Engineering
Barcelona East School of Engineering (EEBE)
The bachelor’s degree in Energy Engineering will gain a clear vision of the energy field, focusing on aspects such as efficiency, saving, management, generation, elements and the energy market. You will be trained in energy resources; energy storage; energy management; energy sector planning; energy integration; the generation, transport and distribution of energy; and the control of energy systems. You will learn to analyse the criteria of sustainability, general efficiency and professional ethics that enable individuals, businesses and institutions to implement energy saving policies. In addition to studying conventional energies, you will also gain in-depth knowledge of renewable energies such as wind, solar, thermal, photovoltaic, biomass, geothermal, microhydro, biogas, biofuel, hydrogen and fuel cells.
