MASTER OF SCIENCE IN RENEWABLE ENERGY ENGINEERING (MSREE)
Vision of MSREE Programme
“Graduates from the MSREE programme will be leaders
in the planning, design, development, implementation and management
of Renewable Energy Technologies to ensure a sustainable energy
future for Nepal”
Features of MSREE Programme
Owing to the interdisciplinary nature in the field, the course
structure of MSREE programme has the following characteristics
to ensure its effectiveness and utility to students and to
the society:
It should provide an opportunity to the students to learn
and apply the basics of new subjects relevant to the area
of energy engineering.
• The course-curriculum should ensure that on successful
completion of the program, the students have a solid background
of extensive and comprehensive course-work in all essential
advanced-level subjects.
• The students should be able to specialize in any one
(or more, if additional courses are taken) of the coherent
and consistent aspects of energy engineering and acquire in-depth
knowledge and necessary skills in that area rather than having
just surface-level knowledge of many diversified subjects.
• The course structure of the teaching program should
cover all aspects of energy technologies, including resource
assessment, technology development, economics and energetic,
socio-cultural issues, and ecological and environmental impacts,
etc.
• It should be flexible and dynamic, thus allowing for
future improvements in the course-structure. It should provide
a balance between theory and practical aspects of energy engineering
education.
• It should be compatible with global efforts in this
direction to allow effective and mutually beneficial experience
sharing and interaction with other countries.
Objectives
In an attempt to accommodate most of the desirable features
mentioned above the proposed programme in energy engineering
is framed with the following objectives:
To provide an opportunity to the students of diverse educational
and professional backgrounds to acquire basic knowledge in
certain new subjects directly relevant to the interdisciplinary
area of energy engineering,
• To enable the students acquire a strong foundation
in all the advanced-level important areas such as energy conversion,
heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, combustion, instrumentation
and control, energy conservation etc, and
• On successful completion of the teaching program the
students should be able to design, evaluate and select appropriate
energy technologies to meet a given energy demand.
• To link MSREE with employment opportunities.
Admission Requirements:
Eligibility for admission to MSREE programme, a candidate
must have:
• Bachelor’s Degree Four Year Programme in Civil,
Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Computer, and Agriculture
Engineering, or
• Five Year Program in Architecture, or
• Two-year Programme in Master of Science in Physics
and Chemistry from Tribhuvan University
• Other recognized Universities as well as Degrees equivalent
to any of the aforesaid branches of Engineering.
• Have undergraduate grades not less than that prescribed
by the Faculty Board of the Institute of Engineering
• Secure a minimum score, as prescribed by the Faculty
Board, in the admission test.
Course duration:
• Minimum period of Full-time attendance required for
MSREE course is two academic years.
• Maximum duration within which a student is allowed
to complete the course is as per the norm set up by the Faculty
Board of the Institute of Engineering.
Number of Students for Enrollment
16 Students
Course Structure:
Course Contents: Course consists primarily of two types:
• Core courses deal with the fundamental and application
in different course areas
• Elective courses deal with very specific details of
the course.
In second year, a student is allowed to select any relevant
two courses from among ‘A’ Group elective courses
and one from among ‘B’ Group courses.
Course is Thesis based and the student has to take a thesis
of 16 credits. The student works under the guidance of the
faculty advisor.
Qualifying Criteria
To qualify for the Master of Science in Renewable Energy Engineering,
a student with bachelor in Engineering degree or equivalent
must complete a programme of course work of 60 credits.
To qualify for the Master of Science in Renewable Energy,
a student with appropriate M. Sc. Degree must complete a programme
course work of 60 credits including an individual thesis of
16 credits. |
