Associate in Science degree - Energy Systems
Catalog 2012-2013
This program prepares students for jobs installing, designing, servicing and maintaining solar energy systems. Students can choose either of two areas of specialization.
Students who focus on photovoltaic systems will be able to work with residential, commercial and industrial size photovoltaic systems. Many of the skills learned in these courses relate to solar thermal systems as well. The following photovoltaic required courses are part of the Electricians Trainee Program and approved by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards: ELECT 120, 121, 266, 267.
Students who focus on solar thermal systems will be prepared for careers installing, designing, servicing, and maintaining solar thermal systems. Successful completers of this program will be able to work with residential, commercial, and industrial-size solar thermal systems. Solar thermal systems include domestic water heating, radiant floor heating, swimming pool, and spa heating systems. Solar air heating and cooling systems are currently under development, and will be included once established. Many of the skills learned in the solar thermal courses relate to photovoltaic systems as well. The following solar thermal required courses are part of the electricians’ trainee program and are approved by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards: ELECT 120 and 266.
Selected courses may meet some of the lower division requirements for bachelor of science programs in engineering technology and industrial technology at certain California State University campuses, and private technical colleges. Consult with electronics department faculty and college counselors for more information.
To earn an associate of science degree, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a “C” grade or higher, maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher in the coursework required for the major and complete all graduation requirements as listed in the catalog.
Students are limited to one associate in science degree regardless of the number of specializations completed. Multiple certificates may be awarded.
