The Department of Energy Engineering was established in 2013 with the goal of contributing to national development and driving the growth of the energy sector by training specialized energy engineering professionals who can meet the demands of the era, while considering both the current structure and future outlook of the energy industry and workforce. The department aims to enhance the university's competitiveness by linking its mission, goals, and specialization.
Energy engineering is an interdisciplinary field that involves research, development, and system management/operation to efficiently use limited energy resources and convert existing energy into sustainable, environmentally friendly energy. For a country like ours, which has a high dependence on foreign energy, next-generation energy technologies play a key role in enhancing national competitiveness and are at the forefront of cutting-edge engineering that is responsible for the future of humanity. Accordingly, the Department of Energy Engineering focuses on educating creative and specialized professionals who will lead the future energy sectors such as hydrogen energy, fuel cells, bio and waste energy, solar energy, secondary batteries, smart grids, and energy policy.
