Hi

am planning get my engineering Bachelor from india

am searching about "energy engineering" that care about oil(petrol) solar wind ... etc energy.
I LIKE THAT major but i didnt find any college that give that Bachelor's degree in energy engineer !!
i found only one with renewable energy = no petrol
ask some pople they said that the is so new so you will not find many colleges.

if i didnt find that major
my decision will not be out two: Communication engineering & control engineering ( electrical )

so if any one can advice me or give an opinion about my main major or the alternative majors i will be grateful

my other question:
if there any certifications or courses that can help me after i graduate to enhance my job degree ?


thanx

edit: nevermind

so nice !!

im not sure what you are asking...

If you want to work in the alternative energy sector (nuclear,solar, wind, petrol, geotherm, biofuels, etc...) get an undergrad degree in mechanical, electrical, or material science.

Mech E's are involved in all of them...EE's are heavy in solar obviously and others...mate
rial science engineers also are in the mix most of the time...ecspecially in R&D

i live in the middle east
the situation here is different
and its hard to choose any unusual step.
choosing " energy engineering " Bachelor
risky enough

& now no energy engineering .
any degree before Bachelor in the middle east = nearly nothing = no good future
here what i can get is more important that what i want.

as a result
i think i will choose control engineering (if they called it like that in india!)

my second question
about any certifications or courses that can help me after i graduate to enhance my job degree?

Well I have never heard of "energy engineering" or "control engineering" to be honest. Energy is one of the specializations in, for instance, mechanical engineering, and controls is one of the specializations within several engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electrical and aerospace.

Still, if you want oil/petrol, solar, wind, and all other forms of energy, I would think that electrical or mechanical would be the place to be depending on what part of the process you want to work on, most likely mechanical.

As for certifications, I have no idea what kind are available in the Middle East and India.

energy engineering is a new major from selective subjects from fields like electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering .
the control engineering (Control systems engineering) as i know here is one of the specializations of electrical engineering. so when we said control engineering thats mean department of electrical engineering, as you said electrical could be the place to depend on.
now i have nearly a clear view..

about certifications i mean in general not for specific location.

thanx sir

Still, the only real certifications that I know of are getting a P.E. license, which is only relevant in certain fields and only applies in the US and maybe Canada to my knowledge. Most certifications are region specific.
