Conestoga has offered Electrical Engineering Technology students a
choice of options in Process Control and Alternative Energy since 2008.
The Process Control stream qualifies graduates in traditional
technologist roles related to automating the operation and control of
manufacturing and assembly systems. The Alternative Energy option was
introduced to focus on technologies for alternative energy production
including wind power, photovoltaic (solar) cells, geothermal, biomass
and micro-hydro.

wife, Bobbi, presented the awards. “Recognizing talented young people
like this is a great way for Sommers to celebrate its 75th year of
advancing power technology,” he said. “We’re very pleased to have such
an opportunity to support the future of our industry in Canada.”
