Overview

The Energy Systems Engineering Technology (Fast-Track) program allows the qualified college or university graduates direct admission into Year 2 (Semester 3) of this three-year program to receive a Technology advanced diploma in four semesters.

This college engineering program will form the base of society’s changing views on energy and the environment, transforming the utility and construction sectors. As such, it will focus on offering you the fundamental skills to understand energy and its uses in modern society.

A radical shift in operating practice in the utility sector is opening the doors to ground-breaking energy projects using small-scale sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, fuel cells, geothermal and biomass energy to produce electrical and thermal energy. The construction industry has also adopted a host of new building initiatives that quickly increase green awareness and use sustainable engineering practices for various sectors. The challenge and opportunity will be to learn how to integrate and use these modern sustainable energy technologies consistent with the market demands.

Due to the energy industry’s changing nature, this program will be challenging. Still, it will result in a unique blend of technical, managerial and entrepreneurial skills that are highly sought after in modern energy and sustainable building companies and sectors.

Co-op Option

The co-op option will allow you to gain hands-on experience while you complete two co-op work terms as an employee in the field. This experience not only allows you to put classroom learning into practice but will also provide valuable contacts for your future career.

To participate in this co-op option, you must complete an application process in the first semester. If academically qualified, you may be admitted to the co-op program.

When you graduate, your diploma will highlight the co-op credential.
