In addition to learning the most current theories, students will acquire the hands-on training needed to work with rapidly evolving technologies including photovoltaic cells, wind generators and geothermal heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Potential career options include energy and indoor air quality auditor, HVAC operations and maintenance technician, solar and wind energy technician, and green building, renewable energy and energy efficiency consultant.
