SUSTAINABLE ENERGY CONTEXT

Learning Objective 1: Analyse the main economic, environmental and social drivers for a transition to sustainable energy sources

Learning Objective 2: Put into perspective your own views on the links between personal values and global sustainability values, with particular emphasis
on sustainable energy

Learning Objective 3: Relate the principles, norms, and constraints of contemporary engineering practice to your work in the area of sustainable energy

Overview
Provide a two page (500 words) proposal for your individual major project, outlining your project topic, the sorts of questions you will address, a broad outline of project content, and resources to be used (fully referenced using an appropriate referencing system). You should also provide some initial discussion of the key elements associated with the deployment of your chosen technology. Get quick and affordable assignment help now!

Please refer to the requirements for the Major Project (Assessment 4) outlined in the Assignments tab, to guide your proposal.

You should include 3-5 key references in your proposal.

MAJOR PROJECT

The two-page proposal for your individual major project is due on the week 5 class date and is worth 10% of the marks for the Course. This template is designed as a guide to preparing your proposal. Students are welcome to be innovative in presenting proposals, however all of the information requested here should be covered. As per the Course Guide, the proposal should outline the question for analysis, a rough outline, and resources to be used (at least 3 quality sources, properly referenced).

For the major project, students should choose a particular sustainable energy technology and analyse how the economic, social and environmental context shapes the prospects for deployment of that particular technology. Drawing on this analysis, students should also consider relevant policy settings, programs, and other strategies for intervention and consider how these may drive deployment levels. The project should also be clear about why the technology in focus can be considered 'sustainable'.

It is suggested that the deployment of the technology you choose should also be considered within the context of a particular jurisdiction (or jurisdictions). This will allow for you to consider actual social, environmental and economic conditions and the particular policy and program settings of that jurisdiction/s. Students are expected to draw on some of the literature and material discussed in class. Students should choose the technology/jurisdiction on which they will focus early in the semester (in consultation with the course coordinator) and provide an overview in week 5 (assessment task 3, due 03 April 2025).
