About The Program
The Energy Technology program is a 12-course curriculum focused on the energy industry. Encompassing the electricity and petroleum industries, including chemical and nuclear, the program provides knowledge about this dynamic sector’s processes and structures.
A mixture of technical and operating materials, the Energy Technology program is designed for those with technical aptitude and leadership potential. It is not an engineering program, yet involves highly technical knowledge. It presumes a capacity for working within the framework of a technical industry.
Anticipated Audience
The Energy Technology program is designed specifically to prepare learners for careers in the various energy industries, especially those with evident human resource needs. It is particularly suited for partnering relationships with companies and industries in need of highly prepared workers.
The Energy Technology program prepares learners to participate in the energy industry. It is designed to be marketed directly to or in partnership with organizations such as:
- Electrical Utility Companies
- Electrical Industry Alliances or Co-Ops
- Petroleum Development or Distribution Companies
- Petroleum Industry Alliances or Associations
The Technical Details
The Energy Technology is necessarily quite technical. However, it is not an engineering program and does not require engineering-level skills or technology to complete. It does require a working facility with the sciences, especially physics and chemistry. It also integrates many elements of environmental science.
Learners are recommended to prepare themselves in the essentials of physics, which may be done by completing preparatory physics courses or tutorials. They should also develop capabilities in math and functional calculus.
The Environmental Imperative
The Energy Technology program aggressively tackles the energy industry’s responsibility for environmental preservation. It mirrors the energy industry’s innovations and progress toward “clean” energy for the future.
The “green energy” movement is among our most progressive and powerful industrial developments. It is a cornerstone of the Energy Technology program.
