Advanced Diploma in Power Engineering Technology

Power Engineers operate high-energy industrial processes found in power plants in Canada and across the world. Power Engineers ensure that steam production, electrical generation, refrigeration and gas compression is safe, reliable, and efficient. As a power engineering student, you will learn in classrooms, labs, and using simulation. In the classroom you learn about power industry equipment design and the applied sciences that explain how machines work. You will get hands-on experience working in our on-site TSSA registered high-pressure steam power plant. You will operate a steam boiler, a refrigeration chiller, and a steam prime mover. You will also learn practical maintenance skills while working on pumps, compressors, valves and piping in our power systems lab. You will learn to operate and troubleshoot power plant processes in our power plant simulation lab. On your CO-OP you will work in industry and apply your academic knowledge.
