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 the student to apply the energy systems knowledge to commercial and residential building applications including energy auditing and conservation initiatives.

Graduates may perform functions in various aspects of the energy sector, primarily in support of research, development and design, at a technologist level. Employment opportunities may include all aspects of energy systems including equipment design, quality assurance and control, equipment maintenance, energy auditing and controls of energy, industrial and electrical systems.
