So, I want to engage myself into some environmental projects, especially in renewable energy. What kind of bachelor degree do I need for this?

 

Thank you.

You've got a range of options.  

 

1.  Chemical engineering

 

2.  Materials Engineering

 

3.  Renewable energy engineering

 

4.  Sustainable energy management

 

5. Environmental science and engineering

 

6.  Climate change

 

7. Carbon management 

 

8.  Energy efficiency

 

9. Engineering technology

 

10.  Energy services

 

11.  Electrical engineering

 

It ultimately depends on what you want to do.   Solar power, wind harnessing, carbon capture, geothermal energy.   There may even be a way of capturing body heat as a form of energy through strategically placed heat exchangers in the street to heat buildings to minimise overall energy cost.   The future's filled with opportunity. .  

 

You don't need a degree to get started on something.   Most big projects, companies and ideas started off with a small question.  How do I solve this problem? What happens if I decide to change things around?  What happens if I change the parameters of the question?   Brilliance is defined by the ability to think beyond yourself and open your mind, thinking outside the box and well into the future.
