As the energy sector begins to grow, employment availability grows and Process Control Technicians are on the forefront. This program is designed to train you to analyze, adjust and optimize process units and equipment in industrial facilities. Courses and lab work in thermodynamics, applied chemistry, instrumentation and controls and electrical devices prepare you for work in a processing plant environment. In the first year of the program you learn fundamental technician skills and develop an essential academic background.
Be part of the growing energy industry with our three-year Industrial Control Technology (Co-op) program, which combines classroom and co-op training to give you skills to repair, maintain, calibrate, adjust and install industrial measuring and control equipment. If you’re employed in maintenance, you’re responsible for keeping control systems operating properly. If you’re employed in technical sales, you assess the needs of the customer and supply equipment to meet those needs.
Every time something is built, created or made in a mill or factory, a chemical process is used that someone needs to manage. In the Chemical Technology program, you will provide technical assistance, modify techniques and procedures in laboratory and plant operations, install and maintain complex equipment and conduct chemical analyses. You’ll also specialize in chemical research, pilot-plant operations, quality control and process industries.
Combine your love for the environment with your love for technology in the Environmental Technology program. As an environmental technologist, you evaluate air, water, ground water and soil quality through sampling, monitoring, analysis, data collection and report writing within the environmental field. In the second year, you specialize in courses that develop the knowledge and skills necessary to operate laboratory, field and monitoring equipment and to apply scientific techniques in the assessment of land, water and air quality.
If you would like to be an integral part of planning and problem-solving in mills, power plants, oil production and many other industries, our Power Engineering Technology (Co-op) program is for you. This program will allow you to develop new engineering skills through lab-work in thermodynamics, applied mechanics and electro-technology. Combine on-the-job work experience with classroom-based instruction on analytical and diagnostic techniques applied to power engineering problem solving and the study of power plant management principles.
The fifth season of Venturing Forth focuses on the ever-increasing role of natural resources and its importance to the economic development of Canada’s Aboriginal people. Oil and gas, eco-tourism, forestry, fishing and mining are but a few of the topics Venturing Forth examines this season as we travel across Canada to meet trailblazers willing to share the lessons they have learned, their pride in their communities and the hope they have for generations to come.
Our goal: To provide opportunities for off-reserve Mi’kmaq Aboriginal Peoples for relevant and useful oil and gas training, education opportunities and insight into goods and services opportunities with the offshore oil and gas industry.
Civil engineering is a broad term encompassing several distinct areas of specialization. It is also the oldest of the engineering professions. Included in the scope of civil engineering are the design, planning, managing and construction of highways, airports, harbours, dams, hydro development bridges, buildings, industrial plants, site remediation, pollution control and so much more.
The program will provide the latest technical knowledge on upstream, production, and downstream aspects of oil and gas engineering. The program will also address serious issues faced by the oil and gas industries, such as sustainable development, environmental protection, risk, reliability and safety. In addition, the program will cover drilling engineering, phase behavior of petroleum fluid, production engineering, compact process equipment design, offshore environmental operations, and natural gas engineering.
