The Renewable Energy Technology Associate in Applied Science (RET A.A.S.) degree provides students with a broad and comprehensive technical education in the rapidly growing field of renewable energy. The RET A.A.S. program focuses on developing skilled technicians who are prepared to enter the job market as entry-level installers, operators, or maintenance technicians for renewable energy technologies including grid-tied solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, small wind, heat pump, micro hydroelectric and bioenergy systems. The degree program has the flexibility to train students directly out of high school, as well as displaced workers who already possess a mechanical or electrical technical background.
