SDG Detail

Embedding SDGs content in existing courses

None

Project description

We use the SDG framework in our lectures and tutorials especially during the introductory lecture of the course to make students aware of the UNSDG and its targets. Basically, we try to implement the SDG throughout the course by focusing on increased use of energy efficiency and renewable energy. We also developed a group project solely focused on the development of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and policies. Moreover, students also perform a minor research project which is dedicated to bioenergy, renewable energy such as solar, biogas, etc. and energy efficiency projects. Some of these projects are also directly related to the solution of industrial real world problems.

Project aims

The Master of Advanced Engineering (MAE) in Energy and Sustainability program is designed to groom our next generation to become a change agent of sustainability so that they can make the ecosystem a better place to live in and to take care of the future. We also aim to make them conscious and responsible for the environment, economy and society while developing the materials and technology.

Project outcome

In the Sustainable Energy Technologies (MEC5886) unit, students successfully designed the solar PV system for a campus building. Overall, the impact of hands-on and practical project work done by students was very helpful to the Facilities Management Department to conserve energy by reducing the electricity consumption.
