Renewable Energy Engineering

MedTech’s Renewable Energy Engineering (REE) program provides a combination of advanced technical and theoretical knowledge in the rapidly expanding area of renewable energy engineering with a clear Electrical Engineering focus. 

The REE program is based on real-world learning experiences through team-centered, and hands-on projects to provide students with the required knowledge and skills to assess renewable energy resources, design appropriate renewable energy systems, evaluate the performance of these systems and assess the wider impacts of renewable energy development. Moreover, the program helps students to acquire an entrepreneurial mindset by providing them with the required theoretical and practical knowledge of the entrepreneurial process and the practical steps to identify opportunities.

After the completion of the program with 210 credits of which 109 credits are in the main field of study, an engineering degree certificate is issued with a major in Renewable Energy.

Requirements include strong academic qualifications, proficiency in the English language, and a successful face to face interview with the MedTech faculty. 

• Educational Objectives

Graduates from the RRE program are expected to attain or achieve the following Program Educational Objectives within a few years of their graduation:

PEO1: Achieve successful careers in Renewable Energy Engineering or related professional fields as engineers, consultants, and entrepreneurs, or continue on advanced studies as researchers, experts, and educators.

PEO2: Demonstrate an ability to actively engage in teams and adopt critical thinking and excellent communication skills to implement sustainable solutions to complex energy-related engineering problems.

PEO3: Demonstrate an ability to adopt advanced engineering methods with their lifelong learning skills and remain current in the dynamic field of renewable energy.

PEO4: Participate actively to the professional/community development activities, and contribute to the advancement of society by having leadership roles, mentoring/ outreach activities as well as public and volunteer services.

• ABET Student Outcomes

The program must have documented SOs that support the PEOs. Attainment of these outcomes prepares graduates to enter the professional practice of engineering.

ASO1: Ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

ASO2: Ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.

ASO3: Ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

ASO4: Ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

ASO5: Ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.

ASO6: Ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

ASO7: Ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
