Access to sustainable and #renewable #energy represents one of the great challenges in the 21st century. Therefore, electrochemical energy #storage, in particular batteries, will be an essential tool for the future. The English-taught Master's degree programme "#Battery #Materials and #Technology" will prepare its students for these future challenges. It addresses central issues of energy storage in an interdisciplinary manner, and focusses questions like efficiency and safety of new battery materials within a scientific orientation.

Taking on the capstone project in G10 second semester 2022 with my colleagues Eman, Nadia, Amira and shahd was a remarkable challenge that enriched me immensely, such as how to do scientific research, how to work with others, how to deal with diverse opinions, and how to learn and apply new knowledge. We had to devise creative ideas to produce energy from wasted heat or industrial waste or greenhouse gases, which was quite difficult for students who were only sixteen years old. But we did not give up and did a lot of research and sought advice from university professors, and we chose to use molasses, which is the leftover of sugar factories from cane. We knew that it was composed of sugars, so we used this equation C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 and we went through several steps to produce ethanol, which is a form of energy that can be used as fuel for cars. This is advantageous because it reduces air pollution and also it can be used for sterilization and many other applications. Based on this, our capstone project was part of competition idea that secured us the third place at the governorate level, which we are very proud of. In a nutshell, this is what the capstone experience is like: we encounter obstacles and conflicts and differences of opinions and cultures, but we also learn how to overcome and solve and cope and benefit the most from it, such as winning prizes, meeting new people, and exploring new things. In the end, I would like to convey my gratitude to STEM for changing my life for the better 180 degrees and I hope that its system will prevail in all parts of the republic."

This article in the Tes Magazine highlights the concerning trend of secondary school students losing interest in maths as they progress through their education. This poses a significant challenge for our sector, as a strong foundation in maths is essential for careers in engineering, technology, and data analysis - all of which are integral to the development and maintenance of EV charging infrastructure and renewable energy systems. We need to actively work towards reversing this trend and encouraging students to pursue STEM subjects, particularly mathematics, in order to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in our industry. The correlation between mathematics and careers in EV charging and renewable energy cannot be overstated. From designing and optimising charging networks to developing efficient energy storage solutions, mathematical skills play a vital role in addressing the complex challenges we face in transitioning to sustainable transportation and energy sources. By nurturing a passion for maths at an early age, we can help shape a future workforce equipped with the technical expertise necessary to drive innovation and progress in our field. It's imperative that we collaborate with educators and policymakers to emphasize the relevance and value of mathematics in unlocking opportunities within the renewable energy and EV charging sectors. In light of the skills shortage in our industry, it's crucial to advocate for the importance of mathematics and its direct link to fulfilling careers in renewable energy and EV charging. By raising awareness of this issue and actively engaging with educational institutions and mentorship programs, we can work towards cultivating a pipeline of talented individuals with strong mathematical abilities and a passion for sustainability. Let's continue to champion the significance of maths in shaping the future of our industry and inspiring the next generation of innovators and problem solvers. #renewableenergy #EVcharging #STEM #netzeroheroes

NEW WORK ALERT! This was such a major project to be involved in and one we were so proud to have worked on. Collaborating with the UNSW Faculty of Engineering, we worked closely with staff and academics to help better communicate and share the incredible global impact of the research being conducted right here in Australia. This project involved interviewing 21 (!) different engineers about their research and crafting long-form impact stories for each one. Suffice to say, we learned a lot! The first batch of stories is now live and we highly recommend taking a look at the human-centred impact of this world-changing research. It's truly mind blowing to see how this otherwise silent research is being applied across every industry both locally and abroad, and how major the impact has already been and continues to be. If you're interested in learning about smart sensors that can detect spoiled food to help lessen global food waste, the world's first fire protective paint that is saving homes and lives, or the way innovative membrane filters are solving water supply and wastewater challenges, read on. #writing #stories #globalimpact #impactstories #research #engineering #copywriting #unsw

This #AANHPIHeritageMonth, we're featuring Sree Devee Hiranmayi Sattenapalli, an Electrical & Computer Engineering student at Carnegie Mellon University and TGP Shine On Scholarship recipient. Learn how Hirani applied her knowledge to make an impact, installing a 10kw solar microgrid to power a hospital in a rural village of 16,000 people in Nepal. "There is a great focus on new and emerging technologies that can support our current infrastructures more sustainably (for instance, the supply of electricity produced from more sustainable practices). So many decisions in engineering must be made while being environmentally conscious and while having a strong and deep understanding of the impact of such decisions on the rest of the world. With this in mind, I was always drawn to environmental science and sustainable technologies. The scope for this is immense and this is one of the primary motives that drew me to TGP. This program focused on the installation of a microgrid system to support the larger goal of building back the electrical infrastructure with sustainable technologies. It allowed me to pursue an electrical-engineering-focused project that had roots/ a focus on sustainability, which was, overall, a beautiful opportunity to connect the undergraduate degree with something larger.  What I experienced was exceptional; it was beyond anything I would have experienced if I had traveled to Nepal alone as a tourist. Being able to live in a village and experience, truly, a life in the mountains, in such a remote area with no cell service and almost no technology, was just beautiful. I don't think I can ever get over how clear the sky was at night, the number of stars I could see, and simply how quiet it was. The absolute stillness and the quiet is something I'll remember and treasure deeply. Global experiences, like TGP, are definitely important for students to experience. Exploring a different country, area, culture, and lifestyle is an extraordinary opportunity not many get to take, especially in a group setting, where you can learn about different aspects of life with people who are also deeply interested in learning about the world. For every student, learning about the world is important. For underrepresented students, a global experience can provide a different perspective and be an attitude-shifter." - Sree Devee Hiranmayi Sattenapalli Electrical & Computer Engineering Carnegie Mellon University | Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University | Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering #AANHPIHeritageMonth #studyabroad #solarmicrogrids #sustainability #experientiallearning
