About the Program
The innovative three-year Energy Systems Technology program prepares students with both theoretical and practical experience, enabling them to work in conventional and renewable energy fields which require the knowledge of energy production, management and its application to industry.Electrical and mechanical theory is applied to a wide range of energy systems from generation to distribution, including hydroelectric, nuclear, gas, wind, solar, biomass and geothermal. Studies in solid-state controls, instrumentation, programmable logic controllers, distribution systems and transformers equip students with the skills necessary to understand the modern electrical distribution system and industrial electrical applications.
Additional studies in HVAC, HVAC controls, and energy management allow students to apply the energy systems knowledge to commercial and residential building applications including energy auditing and conservation initiatives.
Throughout the program, students gain experience in safety practices, safety standards and equipment, technical writing and problem solving. The optional co-op stream includes four consecutive four-month work terms.
Graduating students are qualified to work as technologists in a broad range of private and public energy-sector jobs.
