Program Learning Outcomes
Essential learning for the Energy Systems Engineering Technician – Clean and Renewable Energy Diploma program
Program Learning Outcomes, often referred to as ‘Program Standards', set out the essential learning that a student must achieve before being deemed ready to graduate.
- Install, maintain, diagnose, repair, modify and calibrate clean and renewable energy systems appropriate for small scale (<20,000 ft²) residential, commercial or industrial structures.
- Retrofit existing conventional systems applying green energy management techniques for efficient and clean energy generation and distribution.
- Perform an assessment of the total energy losses in an existing structure, be it residential or small-scale (<20,000 ft²) commercial or industrial structure.
- Assess and make recommendations in regard to the energy efficiency of major energy-consuming systems.
- Outline mechanisms for improved energy efficiency through changes in structure, energy systems or control strategies.
- Predict the cost savings to be realized with the implementation of clean and renewable energy strategies.
- Adhere to the legal, regulatory and health and safety codes and guidelines.
In many cases these program learning outcomes were developed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) in consultation with employers and educators who are experts in the program field. To ensure the outcomes remain current and in line with industry needs, we invite our employers, graduates working in the field and current students to re-examine and update them during regular, ongoing program review focus groups.
