Program Description
This is a two year Technician, three year Technologist full-time program, offered at St. Lawrence College’s Kingston, Ontario campus. The program was initially offered in Fall 2005 and now has about 80 full-time students in three academic years.
ESET Program Technician and Technologist graduates will have skills that will be in high demand as energy prices continues to rise and the Kyoto accord and other initiatives support energy efficiency and sustainable energy technologies.
Energy Systems Engineering Technician (2 year program) graduates will develop and implement projects for business owners and homeowners to realize energy savings in their buildings. The ESET program covers relevant aspects of system specification, installation and operation in the fields of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, air handling, controls, and sustainable and renewable energy technologies. A final semester energy audit project will complement capability in report writing, computer-aided design, entrepreneurial and presentation skills.
The ESET Technology (3 year program) diploma graduates build on the skills developed during the first two years of the program through more analysis and design activities in their final year studies. Technologist graduates will assist developers, designers, architectural, construction and sustainable energy companies to incorporate energy efficiency and sustainable energy technologies in their projects. The final semester Technologist’s project and work placement experience will further develop energy auditing and target area technical competence.
St. Lawrence College’s newest facility, “Energy House” will be the site for much of the ESET program activity in alternative and renewable energy. New in the fall of 2005, this off-grid training facility offers a comprehensive selection of renewable energy equipment for student hands-on training in solar thermal and photovoltaic, ground source heat pump, small wind, solar air heating, and other sustainable energy technologies.
