Cambrian College’s Energy Systems Technology program prepares students to meet the growing needs of employers in the fields of alternative energy, sustainability and energy systems management. Graduates will find employment opportunities that involve energy auditing and modeling of existing conventional heating and energy systems as well as specifying energy efficiency improvements for residential and commercial buildings.
Using the facilities of Cambrian’s Xstrata Nickel Sustainability Energy Centre, students will gain hands-on experience and will learn how to incorporate site characteristics and client needs in order to provide advice on renewable energy alternatives and building design. Students will also be engaged in applied research activities that will focus on industry-led innovation within the renewable energy/technology sector.
