Renewable energy is crucial to securing a greener, cleaner Nova Scotia. To help make renewable energy more accessible, Nova Scotia Power Inc. has a program called Net Metering. Residential and commercial customers can connect small, renewable energy generating units to the provincial power grid. With this approach, Nova Scotians have the opportunity to use renewables for their own energy needs while at the same time having the security of being able to draw from the grid, if necessary.
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.
