The Province of New Brunswick wishes to support the development of clean, renewable energy that benefits all New Brunswickers. Providing additional economic opportunities in all regions of the Province in the energy sector is a key goal of the New Brunswick Energy Hub. To support this goal, the Province has developed a New Brunswick Community Energy Policy. The Province has designed this policy to foster the development of up to 75MW of community energy projects, of which 25MW will be allocated to First Nations.
Electronic Engineering Technologists are finding rewarding work in many areas of our society. In the biomedical field, they operate and maintain a range of medical electronic equipment. For example, there is increased use of medical monitoring systems, which enable patients to carry on their daily activities while a sensor collects bio-data and transmits it back wirelessly or over the internet to medical personnel. In areas of ecology and wildlife conservation, electronic devices are used to track endangered species as they move about the wild.
You apply the principles of fluid power, and the physics in the correct operation of modern industrial hydraulic and pneumatic systems. You also learn to correctly use welding equipment for oxy-acetylene and arc welding, install wiring for residential, commercial, and industrial installations using engineering and architectural drawings to the standards of the Canadian Electrical Code Regulations and connect and test various configurations of transformers used in power distribution.
In this program you study the principles in the design and safe operation of electrical power systems and industrial automation systems. The program emphasizes electrical power distribution, power system management and control, power electronics, computerized lighting system design, industrial control systems (including programmable logic controllers - PLCs), data acquisition systems and process instrumentation.
Industries like food and beverage production, power production, oil refineries, and pulp and paper mills appear quite different. All, however, are process operations and rely on self-motivated, responsible individuals to ensure their safe and efficient operation. This one-year program has been designed to train you for entry-level work in a wide range of processing industries and is delivered through a combination of classroom study, lab work, and work experience.
Breweries, dairies, refineries, thermal generating stations, pulp and paper plants, hospitals, universities, rinks, and refrigeration plants – these are just some of the major industries that rely on a Power Engineer to safely operate and maintain their power equipment. Your training in this field prepares you for the technical demands and responsibility for the safe and efficient operation of a wide variety of facilities: power, high- and low-pressure steam systems, refrigeration, natural gas, and air compressor plants.
This program prepares you to meet the growing needs of employers in the rapidly expanding field of alternate energy, sustainability, and energy systems management. You're involved in energy auditing and modeling of existing conventional heating and lighting systems, as well as specifying energy efficiency improvements for residential and commercial buildings. You learn how to analyze site characteristics, client needs and advise on improving energy efficiency through, building design/renovation, HVAC system improvements, and the addition of renewable energy.
The Energy Training Program for Students is an example of the Nova Scotia Department of Energy's commitment to continually develop human resources in the province. It was created to encourage private sector employers to hire Nova Scotia post-secondary students for career-related work terms in all sectors of the energy industry. Employers benefit by gaining access to students and recent graduates in a wide range of disciplines from universities and community college campuses in Nova Scotia.

Grants are awarded according to the applicant’s undergraduate academic standing and practical relevance of the project to Nova Scotia’s energy industry. Priority is given to students who have graduated from Nova Scotia’s public school system and have completed undergraduate degrees in Nova Scotia universities.
