Energy engineering is the combination of Electrical engineering and Mechanical engineering subjects. It is the study of the energy sources which are fulfilling the essential needs of human beings without spoiling the environment. The applications of Energy engineering are a mixture of Physics, Chemistry and Math techniques. Energy engineer is completely responsible for developing, designing and building Renewable energy sources. They will check the safety standards from time to time. They work on converting and transmitting energy to meet the needs of electricity. There are a few specializations in Energy engineering where candidates can opt for career growth. Some of them are Nuclear engineering, Solar engineering, Power engineering, Wind engineering, Hydro engineering. Energy engineers will have better career opportunities in India as well as in abroad countries with attractive packages.
