I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an
attempt to get my father’s respect or interest, or maybe
it was just a genetic love of technology, but I was always
trying to build things.

Pre-Engineering
at Macomb Community College
What is Pre-Engineering?
The ingenuity of Engineering can be seen in the
Pyramids of Egypt, the Parthenon in Greece, the
Colosseum in Rome, and the Great Wall of China.
But it can also be seen much closer: in the car
you drive, the bridges you cross, the plane you
board, the technology you use and even the fibers
in the clothes you wear.
Macomb’s Pre-Engineering Program is your
gateway to a career in Engineering, as well as a
great opportunity to discover if there is one branch
of Engineering you may want to specialize in.
The Program
The Pre-Engineering Program at Macomb is designed to
provide students with the basic competencies, knowledge,
and skills required to transfer to a baccalaureate degree
program in Engineering.

Renewable Energy and
the Technology Certificate
Renewable energy is generated from
natural resources such as sunlight,
wind, rain, and geothermal heat—all of
which are naturally replenished, thus
contributing to the reduction of waste
and pollution, ultimately benefiting the
environment for all the world’s citizens.
The Renewable Energy Technology
Certificate at Macomb provides the
knowledge and skills required for
positions involving the integration
of renewable energy applications in
a variety of business and industrial
environments. The certificate focuses
on a “holistic” approach, emphasizing
the importance of scientific principles
coupled with industrial processes,
professional proficiencies, and practical
laboratory experiences.
at Macomb Community College
The Program
The Renewable Energy Technology Certificate is designed
to complement several existing program paths, including
associate degrees in Automated Systems Technology—
Mechatronics, Maintenance Technology, Manufacturing
Technology, Building Construction Technology, Electronic
Engineering Technology, Architectural Technology, Business,
Environmental Science, and others.
The Renewable Energy Technology Certificate is not
intended as a stand-alone certificate. Students are highly
recommended to complement the above degree programs
with the Renewable Energy Technology Certificate to
increase employability skills.
Courses related to the “green economy” include
77 Wind Energy
77 Solar Energy
77 Geothermal Energy
77 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology
77 Hybrid Electric Vehicles
77 Commercial Green Building Design and Construction

Employment Outlook
The message is out there loud and clear: We—as a country—
have to radically step up the use of renewable energy and other
sustainable technologies to remain economically viable and
protect our environment.
One of the important benefits so far has been the creation of new
jobs in the areas of wind and solar energy, alternative fuels, green
building, and recycling.
Job titles attainable upon completion of this course of study
include:
77 Solar Photovoltaic Installer
77 Wind Turbine Service Technician
77 Energy Auditor/Sustainability Specialist
77 Solar Energy Installation Manager
77 Energy Broker
