The Energy Systems Engineering Technology (Fast-Track) program allows 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.

Forming the base of this college engineering program will be society's changing views on energy and the environment, which are 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.

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.

Program Highlights

• Applied research and development projects in the Energy Systems Engineering Technology program would promote innovation and entrepreneurial skills.
