Introduction
The University of Sharjah is the first university in the region to offer the unique specialty of Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering. With a strong world momentum towards exploring new technologies for energy conversion, storage and management, the department has graduated hundreds of engineers since its establishment who have proven themselves as distinguished ambassadors for the University.

Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering is a intertwine between all engineering specialties that caters for energy conversion, efficiency, storage and sustainability. The discipline is often claimed by classical engineering department, such as mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering, while sometimes architecture engineering lay claim to certain aspects of building design. Thus, classifying oneself as a sustainable and renewable energy engineer includes individuals working on materials science, mechanical power, electrical power, chemical processes, energy management and environmental engineering. Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineers are involved in the design, analysis, management and problem solving of a variety of projects that are linked to their community.

The Department of Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering (SREE Department) at the University of Sharjah (UoS) currently offers one undergraduate program in sustainable and renewable energy engineering which leads to a Bachelor of Science in sustainable and renewable energy Engineering (BScSREE) degree. The program has become fully accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the UAE Ministry of Education in 2018.

The SREE Department at the University of Sharjah is proud to have obtained the initial accreditation for a Master of Science in Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering (MScSREE) Program from the Ministry of Education, UAE.

The overall objective of the MScSREE Program is to provide the opportunity for qualified engineers and scientists to advance their knowledge and expand their skills in the energy engineering specialization. The intent is also to prepare students to conduct independent and collaborative research in academic, governmental and industrial contexts. Throughout the process, students will participate in knowledge exchange and improvement, research design and analysis and knowledge/technology transfer. The program is also intended to support the development of a critical mass of researchers, especially applied research, in pertinent fields to UAE and the region.

Program Goals
The goals of the program are to enable students to:

1. Assume leading roles as academics, researchers and professionals engaged in identifying, formulating and solving current and emerging energy engineering problems;
2. Advance the scientific body of knowledge in energy engineering through original contributions communicated in scientific and professional publications and forums;
3. Demonstrate, embrace and foster principles of ethics and professionalism in research and practice and actively engage in community service. Will embrace the principles of professional ethics, energy efficiency, environmental consciousness and sustainability, personal responsibility, and service to the community.

 
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon the successful completion of the program, students will be able to:

1. Integrate concepts and applications of sustainable and renewable energy engineering in adopting strategic solutions for advanced energy problems.
2. Formulate new ideas through experimental research, simulation and scholarly activities that contribute to advanced problem solving skills in sustainable and renewable energy engineering.
3. Apply life-long skills earned in carrying out research, analysis, technical and policymaking in the sustainable energy area.
4. Communicate complex and diverse topics in sustainable and renewable energy effectively to variety of audiences, such as academics, specialists and professionals.
5. Design, manufacture and analyze advanced processes, devices and systems, in academic, research, and professional contexts.
6. Implement comprehensive quality processes related to advanced sustainable and renewable energy concepts with professional teams, peer groups and self.
7. Evaluate the sustainable energy implementation leading to the reduction of harmful emissions, protecting the environment and other related ethical issues.
   

The program learning outcomes have been aligned with the level 9 of QFEmirates as follows:
