1 Environmental and Energy Technologies Associate of Applied Science Degree Environmental and Energy Technologies Certificates of Completion (COSTS LISTED ON PAGE 12): Basic Solar Solar Energy Technology Energy Conservation Energy Evaluation Alternative Fuels (575) The Environmental and Energy Technologies Program provides students with a strong foundation in Solar Technology, Energy Technology or Alternative Fuels along with relevant theory and concepts necessary to become successful in these fields. Within each technology emphasis, certificates are designed to be stackable and transferable into the associate of applied science degree allowing students to tailor their studies to their own interest and career goals. Green jobs are growing rapidly, especially in the energy efficiency sector. The New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions Green Jobs Report ( Final pdf) indicates that green jobs in New Mexico will have excellent growth potential in addition to excellent earning potential. It is projected that green jobs will exceed employment opportunities in other employment sectors. This program is designed to provide students with a well round curriculum that encompasses both lecture and hands on laboratory exercises. Some of the certificates and the degree assist students in preparation for nationally recognized credentials within those disciplines. Whether taking classes or working on a job site, students enrolled in this program will be required to perform the same job duties and be able to meet the same physical requirements that they will as graduates in the field. Depending where they find employment, graduates may be required to lift up to 50 pounds from the ground, work safely around hazardous chemicals using appropriate safety equipment, ascend and descend stairs and ladders to reach equipment, work safely around heavy equipment and electricity, work safely and effectively on uneven surfaces, and stand for long periods of time on concrete floors.

2 Additional Graduation Requirements To receive either an associate degree or a certificate of completion, students are required to obtain a Career Readiness Certificate in the areas of Applied Math, Reading for Information, and Locating Information at the appropriate level for their respective degree option. To facilitate success in obtaining their Career Readiness Certificate, students will be required to take DRFT 101, Introduction to Drafting and Design Technologies, for all degree options except Architecture, which requires OETS 102, Career Readiness Certification Preparation. A program advisor can provide additional information.
