1 PhD Programs in Renewable Energy Engineering 2023

The study of renewable energy engineering addresses problems associated with the use of fossil fuels by replacing them with sustainable, green options. By exploring different renewable energy types, students often seek to engineer machines or develop methods that are more efficient at producing large amounts of energy.

The PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is a doctoral or post-graduate degree. PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy), and PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways. To receive a PhD a student must demonstrate original research in their chosen field of study, produce a dissertation on that research, and defend their dissertation in front of other experts.
