Program overview
Smart Energy Engineering is an emerging major under the Electrical Engineering category in the field of Engineering. Simply put, it teaches you how to use computer, communication, and automation technologies to make energy systems smarter and more efficient. Core courses include Circuit Principles, Power System Analysis, New Energy Power Generation Technology, Smart Grid, Energy Internet, and the application of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in energy. This major is suitable for students who are interested in both electricity and computers, enjoy solving practical problems, and are willing to do hands-on experiments. Chinese universities have unique strengths in this field—for example, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and North China Electric Power University all have strong research teams and experimental platforms, giving students opportunities to participate in real smart grid projects or new energy microgrid design.
