Power Engineering
Program Description
Do you enjoy working with control systems? Are you interested in pursuing a career in utilities? If so, SIIT’s Power Engineering Programs may be the first steps in a rewarding career. 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. Power engineers require a college training program in power engineering and several years of work experience, and a provincial or territorial power engineering certificate according to class. SIIT offers 3rd and 4th Class Power Engineering programs at the Saskatoon Campus. Both levels are full time programs (32 and 40 weeks, respectively). SIIT Power Engineering students develop the knowledge and skills to operate and maintain- in a safe and efficient manner- equipment found in industrial settings and steam generating facilities. Students progress from one class to another (starting at the 4th class) through a combination of work experience, course completions, and rigorous inter-provincial exams. Intensive lab time for this program is provided at SIIT’s Steam Lab- located at the Northwest Regional College Campus in Meadow Lake, SK.
