This program will prepare graduates for careers in resource energy management, indoor air quality, solar installation, home energy rating systems, and other specialties that support the design, building, and maintenance of sustainable living environments.
Participants will receive a solid foundation in applied mathematics, applied physics, and communication, as well as receive training in industry-specific applications using energy efficiency technology to diagnose building deficiencies. Advanced training in sustainable systems, solar (photovoltaic) systems, resource conservation management, and weatherization will prepare graduates for a variety of careers within the construction and utilities industries, including resource conservation managers, energy auditors, weatherization specialists, solar energy specialists and home energy raters.
This program is approximately five quarters in length, depending on the time students need to satisfactorily complete all graduation requirements.
Students pursuing an AAT or AAS-T degree must complete all college degree requirements prior to graduation. This includes courses that meet the capstone project, diversity, and computer literacy requirements.
