Power Engineering
Power engineers operate and maintain boilers, turbines, and refrigeration and air conditioning systems in commercial or industrial buildings. This 1-year certificate program pairs math and physics knowledge with mechanical and technical skills to prepare graduates for a 4th Class Power Engineer career. Courses include Applied Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Boiler Systems, Electrotechnology, Refrigeration, and HVAC. Students gain hands-on experience in an on-site power lab and thermal generating plant simulator. Designed for students without prior field experience, graduates must pass the PEI Provincial Exam to become licensed power engineers.
Prerequisites: Grade 12 academic, Résumé including work and volunteer experience with applicable dates, membership in groups, associations or athletics, awards and distinctions, and any other information about yourself relevant to the program
