Program Summary

There is an increasing demand for clean sources of energy such as nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower and biomass energies. Truly sustainable development will require the clever integration of renewable energy technologies into existing infrastructure, along with vastly improved efficiencies in non-renewable energy use.

The Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering (SREE) program provides analytical and hands-on skills for designing, building, operating and enhancing sustainable energy systems that combine energy generation, distribution and utilization in an environmentally responsible and economically beneficial manner. We offer two streams: Smart Technologies for Power Generation and Distribution, and Efficient Energy Generation and Conversion.

The Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering program is fully accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, allowing graduates to meet the educational requirements for registering as a professional engineer.

Access to facilities such as: an energy, combustion and air emissions laboratory; a fuel cell development laboratory; a thermodynamics/energy conversion laboratory; a power electronics and smart grids laboratory; and a microfabrication facility.

The Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering program provides you with the analytical, technical and marketing skills needed to design, build, operate and enhance sustainable energy systems.

Carleton has several design teams you can join to put your learning into practice. From building a concrete canoe to joining our award-winning Troitsky Bridge Building team, our clubs and societies can give you many great opportunities.

What students are saying

Through co-op, I worked with Carleton’s Department of Electronics, and I worked on exciting projects such as an autonomous remote-controlled car. Through my classes at Carleton, I’ve also gained valuable skills that will be an asset in the future, like experience with computer programming and CAD modeling. I chose this program as I am passionate about clean energy and there are few engineering programs with such a strong focus on sustainability.
