This certificate covers four distinct modules:
- Introduction to sustainability and life cycle assessment;
- Sustainable aviation fuels;
- Hydrogen production, storage and use;
- Energy storage and conversion.
Over the course of 19 weeks, you will spend five to six hours per week participating in Zoom meetings, asynchronous Moodle lectures, and knowledge checks. Those with little to no prior knowledge will require more time to gain familiarity with the concepts.
Asynchronous learning: Asynchronous learning is all the other activities in an online course that students can complete on their own schedule.
Synchronous learning: Synchronous learning is any activity in an online course that happens in real-time, like a Zoom meeting or a chat.
Students should expect to dedicate approximately four to five hours a week to projects and assignments outside of the live sessions. Those with little to no prior knowledge will require more time to gain familiarity with the concepts.
This program is intended for aerospace engineers, however anyone is welcome to apply. A CEGEP-level understanding of engineering, chemistry, calculus and basic programming is preferred but not required.
These programs satisfy the OIQ (Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec) requirement that engineers complete a minimum of 30 hours of continuing education over a two-year period.
