Mathew Da Silva
Civil Engineering

“As an intern with Sydney Trains, I was involved in major projects

such as rail inspection projects or major re-railing projects.
I was introduced to the maintenance world, where I was
analysing data, validating it on site, risk assessing the defects,
and eventually scoping the work and packaging it out.
I was also introduced to the project management side of
engineering, as I was given a rail testing project where I was
tasked with budgeting, scoping, planning, resourcing and
executing works. It was a great exposure to the industry and I had
always been keen to move into the project management area.”

UAC Code: 603070
Renewable energy engineers are uniquely positioned to help society
move from traditional sources of electricity generation towards a
sustainable, carbon-neutral future.

What will I learn?

As a renewable energy engineer, you will conceive, design, implement
and operate large-scale energy projects using sustainable energy
sources like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and more.
You will draw on multidisciplinary perspectives and apply professional
engineering capabilities to help meet the growing demand for clean
and sustainable energy solutions in sectors such as power generation,
manufacturing, transportation and more.
In doing so, you will play a vital role in helping the world manage
climate change and help achieve the global target of net-zero
emissions by 2050. This is your chance to have a real impact and help
build a more sustainable future.
The UTS renewable energy engineering program will also equip you
with the skills to manage future smart energy grids to help nations
transition towards renewable energy generation while providing
reliable and stable energy infrastructure.
In this exciting and evolving field, you also have the opportunity to
work at the forefront of designing energy-efficient systems, battery
storage, electric vehicles and other emerging technologies – or even
take an entrepreneurial path and create your own renewable start-up.

Electrical engineers deal with the generation and application of
electricity, including high-voltage power generation and supply
networks. With traditional power generation at the centre of global
warming issues, electrical engineers are now at the forefront of
developing renewable energy systems and super-efficient electrical
devices that aim to reduce our energy demands.
In this program, you’ll learn all about circuits, large-scale electrical

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Electrical engineers design, maintain and build high-voltage
power and control systems that run the world’s electricity grids
and other large-scale industrial applications. This includes
both traditional and renewable energy generation, and control
systems such as those found in factories, aircraft, trains and
other vehicles.
Electronic engineers design small-scale circuits that live
inside smart devices for consumers and industry. You learn
about designing sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), electronic
components, miniaturisation of devices, and the software and
communications systems that make them work.
