Program Overview

The Building Systems Engineering Technology Graduate Certificate program is a one-year program that prepares students with knowledge and skills required to work in the building systems industry. This program trains students to work in the field of design, development, testing, report preparation, production, and operation of mechanical, electrical and control systems for commercial buildings. Mechanical systems involve thermal, air conditioning, water services, and fire protection. Electrical systems involve power, lighting, communications, controls, heating, fire protection, life safety and alarms. Control systems involve hardware and software components, sensors, and actuators. ​Students also produce professional quality drawings primarily in the building mechanical, electrical and control systems engineering design fields.
 
This program provides opportunities for students to learn and use modern equipment, software and technology. Through classroom theory and hands-on activities, students learn to apply appropriate industry codes, standards and specifications to different design and development phases of a variety of projects involving electrical, mechanical and control systems for commercial buildings. Graduates of this program will be well prepared for a variety of career paths in the building systems industry.
