School of Energy & Applied Engineering
Welcome to the School of Energy & Applied Engineering. You will find hands-on training in engineering technology, manufacturing, and power systems here. Our programs prepare you for careers in industries that keep the lights on, build the machines, and manage the processes that power our communities. The school sits on the Benchlands Campus in the Escarpment Building, where you will work in modern labs and workshops. Rajesh Venkataraman serves as the dean of the school.
Departments
The school is made up of three departments. Each department focuses on a different area of applied technology:
- Electrical & Electronics Engineering Technology covers power distribution, industrial controls, and electronics design. You will work with the department chair, Helena Varga, and faculty to build real systems.
- Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering Technology looks at machines, production lines, and robotics. The department chair, Douglas Ferreira, guides students through design and fabrication projects.
- Power & Process Engineering teaches you how to manage energy systems, plants, and chemical processes. Ingrid Solberg chairs the department and helps you prepare for roles in utilities and manufacturing.
