Science & Engineering Orientation: Energy
Efficient conversion of energy requires fundamental developments in materials science to achieve more efficient solar cells. Intermittent energy sources require the development of new energy storage options. New catalysts and ion exchange membranes are needed for photo- and electrocatalysis. The fossil-free production of fuel and chemical feedstock at the GW scale implies a complete redesign of the process industry involving the concerted effort of all the core chemical engineering disciplines, in close collaboration with the development of new materials, separation processes, and conversion processes.
Students interested in this orientation for their masters programme are suggested to select from the following electives.
| Year 1: Q2 (Advanced Chemical Engineering Courses) | Year 1: Q3 (Chemical Engineering Electives) |
|---|---|
Reactors & Kinetics (R&K) Soft Materials Engineering (SME) Solid State Materials (SSM) | Electrochemistry for Renewable Energy Process Intensification (PI) Materials for the Energy Transition Thermo- (Bio-)Chemical Technologies |
Please be advised that students will not receive a separate title or addendum when finishing a science & engineering orientation. It will also not show on the degree.
