Engineering technologists are expected to be able to provide energy systems and renewable energy resources, with a scientific examination of the energy field and an emphasis on alternate energy sources and their technology and application. In this course you will use focus on alternate, renewable energy sources such as solar, biomass (conversions), wind power, geothermal, and hydro. Energy conservation methods will be emphasized. You will also gain a strong foundational knowledge of sustainability and the balance between environmental, social, and economic systems. This course will also provide students with a thorough introduction to sustainability topics such as ecosystems, energy and water challenges, life-cycle analysis, new technology, and climate change science and also incorporates hands-on activities.
