Dual-Credit Energy, Engineering and Environmental Technologies
Designed for: Students in grade 12
Delivery: Blended
Length: 8 months
Overview
Gain hands-on skills and foundational knowledge in the areas of environmental, petroleum, electrical, instrumentation and power engineering as well as environmental and chemical laboratory technologies.
Students in the Energy Engineering and Environmental Technologies program will gain hands-on skills and foundational knowledge in the areas of environmental, petroleum, electrical, instrumentation and power engineering as well as environmental and chemical laboratory technologies.
Students will receive course credits in seven introductory courses such as; Electrical Diagrams and AutoCad, Fundamentals of Petroleum Operations, Petroleum Testing, Workshop Practices, Electrical and Controls, Biology and Field Ecology, Water & Wastewater Treatment.
Students will gain an understanding of the differences and similarities in the various program areas and will investigate which engineering technologies program best suits their career interests.
Is this the right fit for me?
This program is the right fit for students in Grade 11 or 12 who:
- are interested in pursuing a career in energy or environmental technology;
- have an aptitude for math and science, specifically chemistry and physics;
- are comfortable working with computers and instrumentation;
- have good manual dexterity and mechanical abilities; and
- enjoy working with their hands in labs or the outdoors.
Program length
- Dual-Credit Energy Engineering and Environmental Technologies is offered over two semesters (September to January).
- To earn the maximum credits and the full credential, students must take both semesters of Energy Engineering and Environmental Technologies. Students who take the one-semester option will earn fewer credits and no credential.
Continuing to post-secondary
The skills learned in this program can be applied to a number of different post-secondary pathways, including:
Admission requirements
In order to be eligible for a SAIT credential, students must successfully pass the following courses or equivalents with an overage average of at least 60%:
