The energy performance and resource management program will prepare the student for entry into the rapidly emerging alternative energy technology field. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the science behind active and passive energy systems, analyze energy system designs, and offer professional advice to consumers to improve energy systems’ efficiency. Students will acquire the knowledge and skills to provide technical services in planning, designing and construction/installing appropriate energy technologies to manage energy utilization effectively.
