Program description
Both domestically and internationally, the energy sector is undergoing a shift due to recent developments in renewable energy technologies. This offers brand-new, fascinating employment prospects. A pressing need to equip engineering professionals with pertinent renewable energy skills for a thriving market is addressed by the Master of Renewable and Future Energy (MRFE). Knowledge of renewable energy spans a wide range of fields, including microgrids, biomass, geothermal, photovoltaics, marine renewable, and electrical cars. The growing trend of distant and small communities in Washington adopting renewable energy sources, particularly microgrid and smart-grid technology, lends support to this study. Learn from top professionals and specialists in the world who drive course innovation and offer additional insight into the future growth of the energy business. Additionally, MRFE students will have access to a wide range of opportunities to engage with a vibrant global student body, network with industry, and hone professional skills.
