CURRICULUM OF

B.Sc. ENERGY SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

4-YEARS DEGREE PROGRAM

Mission Statement

To produce trained human resource in the discipline of Energy Systems Engineering for exploiting energy resources
to enhance economic growth of the country.

Justification
Potential exists for almost all types of renewable energies in Pakistan. These types include solar (PV and thermal),
wind, biogas, micro-hydel/canal fall, biodiesel production, biomass/waste to energy production, geothermal,
tidal/ocean energies, etc. On an average, solar global insolation 5–7 kWh/m2/day exists in the country over more
than 95% of its area. Wind speed 5–7 m/s persist in coastal regions of Sindh and Balochistan provinces and in a
number of North West frontier valleys. According to a survey, Pakistan possesses more than 50,000 MW of
economically viable wind power potential.
The rise in global energy demand has raised questions regarding energy security and increased the focus on
diversification, generation and efficient allocation. The answer lies in the attainment of optimal energy mix through
fuel substitution by promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy and interregional co-operation. However, oil
and natural gas will continue to be the world’s top two energy sources through 2040.
Pakistan’s economy has been growing at an average growth rate of almost 3 percent for the last four years and
demand of energy both at production and consumer end is increasing rapidly. Knowing that there is a strong
relationship between economic growth and energy demand, the government is making all possible efforts to address
the challenges of rising energy demand
The Government of Pakistan is taking up the challenge of energy crises and trying to build a comprehensive plan of
work in order to address the grave situation being faced by the country. Both the public and private energy sectors
can address biomass/biogas, solar, micro-hydel and to some extent solid waste. Energy production by all the above
means is established internationally and nationally. There is a need to strengthen all the stake holders engaged in
trying to explore possibilities of utilizing renewable energy in place of traditional scarce and expensive fossil fuel
energy supplies.
Pakistan is blessed with 900 km long coastal belt having a huge potential of tidal and wind energy that needs to be
exploited for power generation to meet the energy needs of the coastal area.
Huge untapped coal resources approximately 185 billion tones lying unintended in Thar Sindh can be explored and
utilized to generate power in-order to meet the national energy needs.
The solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Pakistan is another resource still requiring special attention to be focused for
utilizing in pumping water at farms. The solar thermal applications can be used for steam generation, power
generation, food processing, and essential oils extraction from medicinal plants. A huge amount of bio-waste from
agriculture industry and household is another source of energy which can enable to produce more than 3000 MW in
Pakistan. The energy produced from the biomass can be easily consumed in farm engines to pump water and other
farm power operations. Additionally, the sugar mills producing biomass from sugarcane as a byproduct can be
utilized to produce electricity.

Department of Energy Systems Engineering

Overview
Energy Engineering is an exciting and unique undergraduate program which we are going offer to meet energy
crises by opening a new Department of Renewable Energy Engineering. This BS/BSc/BE degree is a first of its kind
in the country with the curriculum addressing the call for the development of alternative sources of energy and
conventional fossil fuels at the undergraduate level.
More specifically, the program will incorporate elements of the old Fuel Science undergraduate program with the
addition of courses focused on renewable energy and agro-energy engineering as well as professional electives on
business, finance, and management. Graduates of the program will be able to understand engineering fundamentals
and apply that knowledge to solving problems in the production, processing, storage, distribution, and utilization of
energy using multiple techniques such as synthesis, analysis, design, and case studies and to incorporate with the
agricultural processes.
This flexibility in the curriculum will make it an attractive dual or concurrent major and minor option for students in
other energy-related programs as it prepares students to become valuable contributors in addressing society's energy
needs and demands particularly in the field of agriculture.
In addition, the program will prepare students to be successful leaders in advancing the technology and management
of energy; innovators and entrepreneurs in the energy sector; and academia, practicing engineers, and national
leaders in the energy and associated environmental health and safety, policy and economic fields.
It will train students to be lifelong learners, problem solvers, and energy industry leaders. The curriculum will be
sufficiently flexible, broad, and diverse to enable students to tailor their educational experience to particular
interests, background, and expected role in the field of agriculture and society. The flexibility allows students in
energy related programs such as agricultural and biological, chemical, electrical, environmental, mechanical,
nuclear, and petroleum engineering, materials science and engineering, industrial health and safety, and business and
finance to have dual or concurrent degrees, minors, or options.

Career Opportunities

With the world's thirst for energy continuing to grow, there is now an urgent demand for a well trained workforce to
