Energy is a fundamental requirement for the sustenance of life, playing key roles in human ecology and in the development of the earths' flora and fauna. Due to continued growth in human population, with concomitant greater growth in energy demand, severe problems in the sustainability of needed energy resources could become acute. The Energy Technology program will examine the growth of energy consumption, the sustainability of energy supply, the long-term energy resources available, and the resulting environmental impacts caused on global and local scales. The program is designed to provide a solid foundation in the fundamental design/installation techniques required to work with energy technologies.
