Course content

Energy is an essential component of our existence. The cost, availability and efficient utilisation of energy are increasingly important in the strategies of governments world-wide, as they realise that the 'raw material' for most of the energy used today has a finite life, and the potential for renewable energy increases.

Large industries and small households alike depend on a reliable provision of energy. Energy includes not only electricity, but also heat and transportation.
