TUITION AND GENERAL FEES

In today’s age of energy crisis, fossil fuel depletion, and climate issues, a career in energy engineering is a great choice. Regardless of the technology used to generate and store energy, there is a growing need to create systems that make efficient use of energy, facility management, plant engineering, environmental compliance. This means sustainable/renewable energy engineers will always be in high demand.

Types of Energy Engineering Positions

Due to the broad definition of an energy engineer, it’s not feasible to list every subcategory. This list, however, provides a good starting point.

Green Building Engineer

The typical median salary in the United States is around $ 100,000 per year.

Infrastructure developers are constantly looking at building structures trying to ensure they make the most effective use of energy. This means that every single aspect of the construction and design needs to be analyzed from an energy efficiency perspective. (Enter: green building engineer). This includes the procurement of energy efficient raw materials, all the way to the design of the structure. Some buildings even produce and store their own energy and are completely off the grid. Other responsibilities of a green building engineer include analyzing the energy usage of existing buildings; recommending ways to improve energy efficiency; and designing buildings that make use of passive methods to cool and heat themselves.

Energy Systems Engineer (ESE)

The typical median salary in the United States is roughly $ 85,000 per year.

In terms of energy use, an energy system engineer’s focus is on the bigger picture. An ESE is tasked with improving energy storage systems, managing energy distribution, analyzing the effect of energy practices on the local environment, and understating the effects of energy-related activities on the economy. An ESE needs to have a broad knowledge of basic engineering covering even the economics of energy systems.

Other responsibilities include the analysis of existing energy plants and systems to determine their efficiency, recommending ways to improve their efficiency, and evaluating the economic and environmental impact of new energy installations.

Alternative / Renewable Energy Engineer

The typical median salary in the United States is about $ 70,000 per year.

Huge renewable energy projects are coming online all over the world. And the trend only looks set to increase. These include 2000-megawatt solar arrays, 6800-megawatt wind farms, wave power generators and geothermal power plants. Thankfully, coal and nuclear power stations are falling behind the constant innovation of the renewable energy sector. This is because of impressive technological advances which have decreased their overall cost. Advances are less apparent in the coal and nuclear fields as the barrier to entry is prohibitively expensive. For instance, the time that it takes to bring a solar farm or wind farm online is significantly shorter and cheaper than building a new conventional power plant – good news for all of us.

As a renewable energy engineer you can expect to be involved in designing renewable energy systems (such as solar and wind plants), optimising existing energy systems, and researching and designing new renewable technologies and methods. You also have the opportunity to be part of a revolution (in energy generation) that ultimately could save the world. What could be more exciting than that?
