The energy systems' engineering program prepares students for the entry level jobs in utility, architecture, construction, manufacturing and petrochemical industries. The graduates are prepared to work on state-of-the-art energy systems.

1. Becoming an Energy Systems Engineering Technician
The utility sector is undergoing a drastic shift from traditional methods towards greener and more
environment friendly ways of producing energy. Small innovative energy projects are being established
using small scale sources, such as hydro, wind, solar, fuel cells and gas turbines to meet electricity needs
of households and businesses.
Due to this, the manufacturers have come up with new and advanced products to implement energy
control in residential and commercial structures. In addition, the construction industry is also adopting
these initiatives while constructing new buildings.
This has resulted in acute shortage of qualified and skilled energy systems technicians to work on such
projects. The engineers who are currently working in this field are those who have gained experience in
energy-related technologies over a period of time by working on several projects. There is a huge demand
for technicians who possess specific knowledge in the field and can easily work on state-of-the-art energy
systems.
A diploma in this field can open doors to many career opportunities for students. You can work

In power plants

With construction and architectural companies to integrate modern energy technologies in new
buildings

With energy companies to implement energy solutions for residential and commercial buildings

With other companies that design heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration units
In addition, you can also apply your knowledge in moulding and casting, integrated circuit packaging,
petrochemical processing and heat exchanger, boiler designing and manufacturing.
Energy Systems Engineering Programs
Specially designed energy systems engineering programs teach students the fundamental skills to
understand the modern energy projects. Students also gain technical, managerial and entrepreneurial
skills necessary to build a rewarding career in this field.
The energy systems engineering course combines mathematics, physics, statistics, chemistry and
mechanics to help students gain well-rounded knowledge that can be applied across mechanical, electrical,
automation and electronic engineering fields.
What Does the Course Cover?
The energy systems engineering course covers a variety of subjects including computer aided drafting,
electric circuits, fabrication and installation, chemistry applications and climate, electronic devices, digital
and power electronics, renewable energy systems, ethics in technology and environment, fluid mechanics
and dynamics, wind and solar energy and power engineering.
Along with classroom learning, a strong focus is placed on practical training. The curriculum includes
project development to promote innovation and project management skills. A good program also offers
opportunities to work on state-of-the-art energy systems.
On successful completion of the program, you can either choose to work or continue to study further. You
can enter year three of the energy systems engineering technology program.
Enrolling in Energy Systems Engineering Course

2. The two-year post secondary energy systems engineering course is relatively new. Not all colleges offer
this program. Some reputed public colleges in Canada offer a nationally accredited program in energy
systems engineering. So, the competition is fierce. It’s ideal to collect all the related details well in
advance and apply for the course in time.
A secondary school diploma, English Grade 12 C or University and Mathematics Grade 11 M or 12 C or
University certificate or score will be required to apply for the course.
