CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY - RENEWABLE ENERGY SPECIALIST
South Campus
The Construction Technology – Renewable Energy Specialist program provides students with a sound background for careers in construction supervision, estimating, building inspection, architect's field representation, construction management, or residential or commercial building. Personnel from ancillary industries, such as construction material suppliers, will also find that Construction Technology courses provide a sound background for their careers.
The primary direction for this program is toward sustainability and renewable energy in construction. Coursework includes wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy as they relate to residential building. Hydrogen fuel cells are also addressed.
People already involved in the construction trades will benefit by increasing their skill sets to include the “green” concepts in new building requirements.
Program advisor Professor Martin Sirowatka can be reached at 586.445.7226.
