    Advanced Diploma Programs in Energy Engineering

    An advanced diploma offers students the opportunity to further their education in their field of choice and prepare for a rewarding career. Normally taking between one to three years for completion, graduates often feel better prepared to launch their careers compared to those without the additional education.

    What is an advanced diploma in energy engineering? A program in this fast-moving field gives students the opportunity to focus on different aspects of the sector, such as industrial energy systems, developing energy efficiency improvements, energy economics and energy-related compliance and regulatory issues. They may take workshop classes to conduct laboratory experiments that will help them understand engineering processes. Classes can also focus on implementing energy solutions in new construction and remodeled buildings, employing automation systems, developing energy control systems and understanding thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

    Project management skills may be applicable in many fields. Advanced research techniques can be applied in many types of engineering fields. Understanding energy efficient solutions is frequently beneficial when purchasing or remodeling either residential or commercial properties.

    The university’s location and reputation can impact the cost of the program. The length of the program and how classes are delivered also typically impact tuition, fees, and lab expenses.

    Graduates have the opportunity to find employment as wind or solar technologists, energy analysts, field installation specialists or power systems supervisors. Architectural companies may hire students as energy engineers or green technologists. Other employment opportunities include solar technician, plant manager, hazmat field technician and director of energy operations. Government positions can include energy programs director, program analyst, renewable energy specialist and sustainability director. Those with a background in finance may find positions as an energy trading manager or energy industry analyst.
