Electronics Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S) Degree: Renewable Energy Systems Concentration
The intent of Bramson ORT College's Renewable Energy Technician Concentration training program is to deliver relevant education and training to new and existing workers and to provide them with the knowledge and skills demanded by employers in the emerging renewable energy industry. Student technicians will learn the practical design criteria, installation guidelines, safety issues, maintenance and troubleshooting, and the legal considerations of Renewable Energy Systems. Students will also be trained in energy assessment, auditing and efficiency.
Additionally, Bramson ORT College also offers, with the employer’s and instructor’s consent, an elective course, Electronics Co-op, which may be taken off-campus for credit. Working in a corporate electronics environment or laboratory gives our students a head start in the competitive job market, hands-on training, and valuable internship experience.
Credits obtained by students while in the Renewable Energy Systems Concentration Program are transferable to four-year programs at other colleges and universities worldwide.
