Computing skills, including both computer programming and the application of specialist software for design and analysis, are an increasingly important requirement for renewable energy professionals and engineers. This module has been designed to enable students to start developing these skills in the first year of their degree programme. Students will be provided with a hands-on introduction to two industry-standard software packages for GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and CAD (Computer Aided Design). They will also be introduced to the fundamental principles of programming to enable them to adapt the software tools that they acquire during their studies to solve specific problems. These skills can be applied and developed further in other modules throughout the course and during industry placements at the end of year 2.
