The Applied Energy Management program is designed for graduates of technical degrees or diplomas to explore further studies across the realm of energy management. Students will gain an understanding of various technologies and means of power generation through simulated software and theoretical studies.
In this program, students will have the opportunity to explore how core technologies in gas and steam are combined with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Theoretical calculations in thermodynamic heating systems are compared with actual field measurements in heating systems to provide students 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 students develop leadership skills, and the ability to manage complex industrial processes and teams effectively to meet business goals. They will study quality assurance and process and project management with a focus on meeting challenges in an industrial environment from operational and strategic perspectives. During the final semester, students will participate in a capstone course where they will work in teams to collaborate, plan and execute a full energy consumption analysis and develop a proposal for energy efficiency improvements for a company incorporating studies and methods they have learned over the prior three semesters.
