Energy Engineering

Energy Engineering is a profession that includes the application of mathematics, electrical physics, chemistry, economics, and the environment to develop more efficient and sustainable sources of energy and improve the operation of buildings and production processes. All this together with knowledge related to the social field and environmental pollution.

That said, its knowledge is applied in order to solve the problems of production, processing, storage, distribution, and use of energy using multiple techniques, such as synthesis, analysis, design, and case studies. In the same way, propose prevention strategies and alternative solutions to the problems of energy supply, as well as the needs for the achievement of the objectives of sustainable development.

The program has elements of fossil fuels with the incorporation of courses focused on renewable energies and electrochemical engineering, as well as professional options in business, finance and administration. Graduates of the program will be able to understand the engineering fundamentals and apply that knowledge to solve problems in the production, processing, storage, distribution and use of energy preparing students to become valuable collaborators to address the needs and energy demands of society.

The growth of electricity consumption has forced countries to look for new sources of energy, which can be exploited in a sustainable way. This is the case of renewable energies. So the demand for Energy Engineers has increased over the years.

Engineers and scientists are required to understand the impact of solutions and decisions on built and natural systems, thus achieving a sustainable planet. Where is submerged in the search for new energy sources through the development of processes and new technologies.

Finally, it is important to note that the Energy Engineer not only seeks solutions to new energy sources, but also works in the production of energy through natural resources such as oil and gas extraction.
