Sustainable Energy Engineering: Transport Engine Emissions: Combustion and Emission Control: Environmental Pollution Control: Combustion and Energy

The Centre for Combustion and Energy Studies and the Department of Fuel & Energy operates an EPSRC supported Masters Training Package (MTP) in Sustainable Energy Engineering.

Background

Sustainable energy supply is defined as the generation of energy efficiently, safely and with the minimum environmental impact. Industry faces increasing pressure from the Government, the EC and from customers to improve energy efficiency and to reduce pollutant emissions, because of concerns over the environment and the need to meet severe European emissions regulations over the next ten years. 90% of energy in the UK and worldwide is generated by the combustion of fossil fuels and this is responsible for the bulk of our air pollution and greenhouse gas problems.

EPSRC MTP Studentships

Full and fees only EPSRC Studentships are available for each MSc (see individual pages for further details).

EPSRC MTP Aims of package

This training package is directed at practical industrial combustion and emissions problems and their solution and aims to meet the strong industrial need for expertise in the combustion and emissions problems of energy supply, including transport emissions problems and the related environmental pollution consequences of polluted water and air.

Four full and part-time MSc programmes are offered within the MTP:

MSc in Transport Engine Emissions
A new MSc based on one-week block modules, thus making part-time study an easy option. The programme has been developed for a specific industrial market in the European Automotive Powertrain Industry. It is based on the long established CPD courses in Diesel and Spark Ignition Engine Emissions. Full time and part time students will study the exact same programme delivered by intense CPD short course modules.

MSc in Combustion and Emissions Control
Another new MSc based on one-week block modules. The programme is aimed at the gas turbine, burner and furnace industries and is based on the long established CPD courses in Combustion & Emissions. Full time and part time students will study the exact same programme delivered by intense CPD short course modules.

MSc in Environmental Pollution Control
Gives training in the environmental consequences of industrial water and air pollution from the energy industries, including waste disposal and incineration. It is offered by the Department of Fuel & Energy in collaboration with other departments including Chemical Engineering and Civil Engineering. Part-time students study on a day release basis plus options using CPD courses.

MSc in Combustion and Energy
Offered through the Centre for Combustion and Energy, the MSc is aimed at the combustion problems of sustainable energy supply. Part-time students study on a day release basis plus options using CPD courses.

EPSRC MTP Key Features

	Block module format allows both full-time and part-time students to attend the same wide choice of modules and for the project to be undertaken in industry (part-time) or at the University (full or part-time).
	Wide and flexible range of options available allows tailoring of course to best match specific sectors, or allows student to specialise within the MSc.
	Extensive participation in CPD course delivery by lecturers from industry, bringing a strong industrial involvement to the training package.
	Overseas and some UK experts for other Universities are involved in lecturing on the CPD modules.
	If the specific modules do not fit into one of the four designated MSc’s, a programme could be developed to suit your needs.
	Supporting comments from key industrialists in the field
