Applied Energy Management at Conestoga College

About the Program

This program is designed for graduates of technical degrees or diplomas to explore further studies across the realm of energy management while experiencing hands-on exposure to various technologies and means of power generation. In this program, you will have the opportunity to explore how core technologies in gas and steam are combined with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. You will benefit from the combination of a registered 4th class high pressure steam training power plant with a renewable energy lab containing full-sized solar panels and related electrical management systems. Theoretical calculations in thermodynamic heating systems are compared with actual field measurements in heating systems to provide you with ample practice opportunities in applied utilities management strategies, where energy management and conservation strategies are assessed as part of utilities optimization. The program helps you develop leadership skills, and the ability to manage complex industrial processes and teams effectively to meet business goals. You will study quality assurance and process and project management with a focus on meeting challenges in an industrial environment from operational and strategic perspectives.

This program involves evening classes, Monday to Friday, and daytime classes, Saturday to accommodate applied components.
