Artificial intelligence (AI) is the construction of artificial systems that have intelligent behaviour.
There are two main motivations for research. One is to understand natural intelligence through the use of computer models. The other provides techniques and technology for building systems capable of intelligent decisions and actions. AI is both a science and an engineering discipline.

Renewable Energy and Clean Technology also known as REaCT is a truly multi-disciplinary course focused on key areas that underpin the rapidly developing renewable energy and low carbon sectors, built around core understandings of electrical power generation from solar, wind and marine sources.
This course covers the interfacing and distribution technologies required to exploit these sources, and provides a sound understanding of the fundamental concepts, the design and analysis techniques required for engineering renewable energy systems. It also equips the students with the knowledge required to understand how to convert and distribute electrical energy from renewable sources, integrate it into low-carbon energy districts and buildings, through an intelligent use of flexible distributed resources, such as storage devices. However, the impact of renewables technologies diminishes if demand and carbon emission issues are not tackled, hence critical policy topics are also key to the course.
