About This Programme

The University of Sharjah is the first university in the region to offer the unique specialty of Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering. With a strong world momentum towards exploring new technologies for energy conversion, storage, and management, the department has graduated hundreds of engineers since its establishment who have proven themselves as distinguished ambassadors for the University. Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering is an intertwining of all engineering specialties that caters to energy conversion, efficiency, storage, and sustainability. The discipline is often claimed by classical engineering departments, such as mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering, while sometimes architecture engineering lays claim to certain aspects of building design. Thus, classifying oneself as a sustainable and renewable energy engineer includes individuals working on materials science, mechanical power, electrical power, chemical processes, energy management, and environmental engineering. Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineers are involved in the design, analysis, management, and problem-solving of a variety of projects that are linked to their community. The Department of Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering (SREE Department) at the University of Sharjah (UoS) currently offers one undergraduate program in sustainable and renewable energy engineering which leads to a Bachelor of Science in Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering (BScSREE) degree. The program became fully accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the UAE Ministry of Education in 2018. The SREE Department at the University of Sharjah is proud to have obtained the initial accreditation for a Master of Science in Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering (MScSREE) Program from the Ministry of Education, UAE. The overall objective of the MScSREE Program is to provide the opportunity for qualified engineers and scientists to advance their knowledge and expand their skills in the energy engineering specialization. The intent is also to prepare students to conduct independent and collaborative research in academic, governmental, and industrial contexts. Throughout the process, students will participate in knowledge exchange and improvement, research design and analysis, and knowledge/technology transfer. The program is also intended to support the development of a critical mass of researchers, especially in applied research, in pertinent fields to the UAE and the region.
