Energy Systems Engineering Technology Centennial College

Overview

This Energy Systems Engineering Technology programme at Centennial College presents you with the opportunity to learn how to integrate and use modern sustainable energy technologies in a manner consistent with sub-urban environments.

The utility sector is currently undergoing a radical shift in operating practice that opens the door to a range of innovative energy projects using small-scale sources — solar, wind, hydro, biomass, Hydrogen fuel cells, energy advising, energy storage systems & management, and Geo-thermal energy— to feed electricity, heat, transport vehicles and heat pumps for heating & cooling of homes and businesses. The construction industry, meanwhile, has adopted a host of new net zero building initiatives that are quickly increasing the awareness and use of sustainable and integrated architecture and engineering practices for new buildings. Manufacturers also have many new products that provide ways to implement advanced energy management in commercial and residential structures.

Due to the energy industry's changing nature, this programme will be challenging but 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.
