The Energy & Science Technician AAS degree prepares students to meet the
increasing demand for jobs related to green technology and alternative energy.
The program prepares students for employment as technicians in areas such as
biomedical and industrial laboratories, manufacturing operations, energy
companies, and environmental positions in public and private institutions.

Graduates will be qualified to serve as technical representatives across a
range of industries that include developmental technologies in the renewable
energy field. Students will receive a well-rounded education that includes
courses in math, statistics, written and oral communication, social science,
alternative energy, biology, chemistry, physics, and computers.

Electives also allow students to direct their studies toward environmental,
chemical, bioenergy, energy technology, and industrial/laboratory
specializations. Stand alone certificates are also available for each
specialization.

Energy & Science Technician AAS graduates will:

* be prepared for a range of entry level technician positions in a
science-related position
* demonstrate the ability to problem solve using process control techniques
* be able to pursue advanced education opportunities.

Any developmental coursework a student may be required to complete may increase
the program length.
