Engineering for a Sustainable Future
Sustainability implies living well within the ecological limits of a finite planet. Nowadays, engineers need to find holistic and effective solutions to protect our fragile planet and meet the needs of the growing human population. The Energy and Environmental Engineering (EEENN) programme at CUHK provides comprehensive exposure to help its students understand the complexities and interrelationships of energy and the environment.
EEENN is designed for engineering-minded students who aspire to help make the world greener and sustainable for future generations. The programme leverages CUHK’s broad academic coverage as a comprehensive research university and the support of the University’s affiliated entities, including the Institute of Environment, Energy and Sustainability (IEES) and the Institute of Future Cities.
The programme provides an interdisciplinary perspective on learning and understanding the relations and trade-offs between energy and the environment and the ensuing engineering challenges in attaining viable solutions. Students acquire fundamental knowledge and problem-solving skills in energy principles, technologies and systems. They also have the option of electing special courses to meet their interests, leading to the following stream designations:
- Sustainable Energy Technology
- Green Building Technology
- Environmental Engineering
