8 Energy Engineering Degree Programs in Canada

The Energy Systems Engineering Technology Diploma will put you at the forefront of utility and construction sectors, which are undergoing a transformation due to society’s changing views on energy and the environment.

The Energy Systems Engineering Technology program will put you at the forefront of utility and construction sectors, which are undergoing a transformation due to society's changing views on energy and the environment.

The master's program aims to deepen technological and scientific knowledge in energy engineering. The research profile promotes the development of the scientific component of the candidate's training through the deepening of knowledge and initiation into research. The research master's program in energy engineering leads to obtaining the degree of Master of Applied Sciences (M.Sc.A.)

An infinite source of clean power: Canada’s bountiful resource. The sun heats our planet to different temperatures in different places and at different times. This unequal distribution of heat is what creates wind as warm air rises and cooler air descends to fill the void. The wind is the ongoing movement of this air. Our vast landscape, our three windy coastlines, the plains, and mountains all contribute to this endless resource. Canada has still only scratched the surface of its massive wind energy potential, which currently powers over 1 million Canadian homes. Tomorrow we hope to do even more. Countries like Denmark already get over 20% of their electricity from wind. If we did the same in Canada, we would have enough wind energy to power 17 million homes! As long as the wind continues to blow, there is a great future in wind energy

Get yourself an empowering career. Power Engineering certification is from fifth class to first class, and there is a program available at SAIT to train you at all levels! Our Power Engineering Technology diploma arms you with the skills to become a third-class power engineer responsible for controlling large, complex power and process systems, and performing production work in the operation and development of large-scale energy projects

Solar energy technicians, also known as Solar Photovoltaic (PVT) Technicians, are generally responsible for installing, fixing, and maintaining solar energy systems that provide solar power.

This program combines electronic, mechanical, thermal, computer, automation and photonic technologies. It provides students with a hands-on approach in which they not only learn about science and technology, but also apply what they are learning. It is the only Engineering Technologies program of its kind in Quebec. Small classes give students the opportunity to work one-on-one with faculty while exploring the rapidly evolving fields of applied engineering technologies. Courses will be given on the John Abbott campus with opportunities to use the OPTECH Montreal facilities situated at Cegep Andre-Laurendeau.

Power Engineers operate and maintain the complex systems used to operate industrial boilers, pumps, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. Demand for skilled power engineers is growing, opening the door to good jobs in the oil patch, mining, manufacturing, power generation utilities, and more.
