Description	This module is compulsory for students on a degree involving energy engineering and available as an EMOD for other engineering students. It introduces the UK and global context of energy production in the context of pressures to shift away from fossil fuels and other finite sources. The IPCC reports on Climate Change will be introduced. Students will understand the state of the developed world’s energy production capability. Overview coverage of renewable resources will include some detailed consideration of demand and supply figures. A case study approach will be adopted for a team-based project.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module the student should be able to: Demonstrate a broad awareness of the contributions to energy generation and consumption Demonstrate an awareness of the issues affecting the sustainable production of energy in the UK Demonstrate knowledge of the concepts of climate change and its impacts Demonstrate knowledge of the fundamentals of electrical energy
