COURSE CURRICULUM

The Power Engineering Technology diploma requires the completion of 61.5 credits across 24 courses over two years, with two semesters each year. The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills essential for power engineering professionals. Core courses include Applied Mechanics I and II, which provide a foundation in the principles of forces and motion relevant to machinery and equipment. Technical Communications and Applied Digital Technologies enhance communication and technological proficiency. Electrical and Controls courses span three levels, covering electrical systems and control mechanisms critical to power plant operations. Mathematics for Engineering and Technology supports problem-solving and analytical skills. The Power Theory and Power Lab series offer in-depth study and hands-on experience with energy generation and process equipment. Thermodynamics courses, including theory and lab components, provide comprehensive understanding of energy conversion principles vital for managing power systems. Additional courses in Unit Operations and Safety and Environment emphasize operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. The program culminates with a Capstone Project, integrating learned concepts in a practical, real-world application. This well-rounded curriculum equips students with the technical expertise and practical experience necessary to succeed as certified Third-Class Power Engineers, ready to operate and manage complex energy and process systems safely and efficiently.
