Sustainable Energy: Green Technology
Associate in Applied Science
The Sustainable Energy Technology program prepares
students to move directly into the workforce upon
completion of career certificate programs or upon
graduation. Students will be qualified for entry-level
positions in sustainable energy technology fields including
solar energy systems, building energy auditing, wind energy
technology, weatherization and sustainable building
systems. Courses provide students with a solid foundation
in basic scientific principles as well as mathematics.
Students are exposed to the theory, materials and
equipment necessary to work in the field.
Upon successfully completing this program, students
should be able to:
