Our Energy Systems Engineering Technician and Technology (ESET) program alumni pursue dynamic careers as Renewable Energy System Designers, Clean Energy Project Managers, and Installation Specialists. They also gain specialized knowledge in building energy management, leading to fulfilling roles as Energy Managers and Auditors.
The achievements of our graduates demonstrate the increasing focus businesses, governments, and individuals place on energy consumption's economic and ecological impacts. ESET graduates meet this rising demand by possessing the expertise to develop renewable energy solutions and assess energy usage in homes and businesses, proposing strategies to lower consumption, emissions, and expenses.
St. Lawrence College boasts some of Canada's most comprehensive learning labs, where students master the design, sizing, and installation of solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, and other sustainable energy systems for both grid-tied and off-grid applications. We practice what we teach through our operational 250kW rooftop solar array.
Beyond standard coursework, we've facilitated student work placements in Texas, Jamaica, and through our Sustainable Energy Applied Research Centre (SEARC). Numerous graduates have continued their education in Bachelor's programs at universities across Canada and internationally.
