Renewable Energy Engineering

Urged by the growing desire to maintain balance, to preserve the natural environment and to slow down climate change, mankind is turning towards nature. As a result, global energy is changing.

Renewable energy includes solar, wind, water and other renewable energy sources. Currently, it is probably the most progressive and rapidly expanding field of technology and energy in the world. It is understandable – the future of all of us depends on this area.

While studying bachelor’s in Renewable Energy Engineering at KTU, you will expand your engineering knowledge and skills, will master the knowledge on the use of environmentally friendly types of energy, on the application of solar, wind, hydro, biofuel heat pump technologies in the fields of electricity and heat. Your knowledge will be supplemented with practical workshops at state-of-the-art laboratories equipped by Siemens, Schneider Electric, Omicron, ABB and DE Lorenzo.

  • Next to the basic subjects of the study programme, you will be able to choose two more specialised module groups additionally
  • The students and lecturers work as partners, the innovative attitude of students to the studied objects is highly valued
  • Hands-on experience using contemporary lab equipment acquire practical skills which are highly regarded among the employers

Values

Studies

The possibility to choose the specifics of studies

The students are provided with an opportunity to choose two more specialised groups of study modules (alternatives) in addition to the basic modules of the study programme, i.e. Control Systems of Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Sources.

Skills

Great knowledge in the field of renewable energy engineering

During the studies, the students deepen their knowledge of the use of environment-friendly energy types, application of solar, wind, hydro-, and biofuel power plants, fuel elements, heat pump technologies in the fields of electricity and heat. When performing the practical tasks, they learn how to design, develop, and use electricity and heat sources, energy devices and apply information technologies.

Environment

The students and lecturers work as partners

The students and lecturers of Renewable Energy Engineering programme work as partners, the innovative attitude of students to the studied objects is highly valued and the most favourable conditions to seek knowledge and improve are created.

Infrastructure

Modern renewable energy laboratories are used in the process of studies

Working in the laboratories with modern laboratory equipment that is constantly renewed by using the funds of the European Union and the partners of the faculty, the students acquire modern practical skills which, after the completion of studies, are highly regarded among the employers.

Demand on the labour market

The growing demand for the graduates

Renewable energy is rapidly developing both in our country and in the world. The technological progress conditions the market demand for specialists who are able to work with renewable energy technologies.

The graduates work in such companies as “ABB”, “ESO”, “Lietuvos energija”, Achema Group, “Schneider Electric”, “Siemens Osakeyhtio”, “Empower”, “Kauno energetikos remontas”, “Energotechnika”, “Elinta”, “Renerga”, “Dalis GERO”, “Vėjų spektras”, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Lithuania, and other state and business institutions and international companies.

Product and service development

Are you interested in creating real products and services while studying? It is now possible to test yourself by getting involved in a product development project (PDP). During the project, you will work in teams, collaborating with KTU researchers and social partners. While solving current, relevant problems you will improve your teamwork, project management, and problem-solving skills, deepen professional knowledge and expand your career opportunities.
