Overview
Through the Power Engineering Technology course from Thompson Rivers University you will learn the details of power engineering, maintenance and operation in order to work in industrial and commercial workplaces, including oil and gas, mining, pulp and paper, food processing, agriculture, hospitals, cities, power plants, manufacturing and more.
What you learn in the classroom will be reinforced in the shop through practical exercises and scenarios. You not only will learn to operate and maintain pumps, compressors, generators and pressure vessels, you will learn to prepare, test and inspect equipment that is found in large facilities, buildings, industrial power plants, processing plants and thermal electric generating stations.
The programme follows the Standardized Power Engineers Examination Committee (SOPECC) material you will need to know in order to write the Technical Standards and Technical Safety BC exams—the same ones you will need to pass to receive your 4th and 3rd class power engineering certification.
Career opportunities:
If you want to expand your career options, you can come back to TRU and apply the credits you earned toward related certificates, diplomas and degrees. For example, you can ladder to our Bachelor of Technology, which focuses on management and leadership.
