Most of us involved in the educational field understand that Green Technology is THE NEXT BIG THING! But as with all new fields and technologies - it is very hard to define or predict. The definitions seem to change depending on who you speak with.
But however you define it, just as we all understood in the early 1980 s that computer technology would change our society in ways we could never imagine - Green Technology will shape our lives over the coming decades in profound and inevitable ways.
The new Green industry is dedicated to managing the world s natural resources and energy in a more efficient manner while allowing for an acceptable standard of living for its inhabitants. This movement, composed of many different people and organizations, has been deemed the green movement . Around the world, this movement has taken hold and is growing as it becomes apparent that key natural resources are becoming much less abundant and the demand for them is growing rapidly.
One of the key areas in the green movement is the search for cleaner, more environmentally friendly sources of electrical power. At the forefront of this search are wind power, solar power and fuel cell technologies. While these technologies are not the only source of clean energy being explored, they are the most promising technologies in the field and are generating demand for workers skilled in these areas.
Introductory ProgramsAdvanced ProgramsComprehensive ProgramsProvides the basics of green techology, including wind turbines photovoltaic cells, fuel cells, sustainable conservation and electronics.
The GT-1500 Clean Electron Generation Panel provides students an introductory hands-on interactive experience with the three leading sources of alternative energy generation technologies.
The GT-2500 Sustainable Conservation Technology Panel provides students an introductory hands-on interactive experience with multiple energy design, monitorying and auditing processes and technologies.
The GT-8000 Green Electronics Technology Panel provides students an introductory hands-on interactive experience with multiple energy generating and electronic component technologies
Each program focuses on one of eight different green technologies. Train for career or industry certification.
In the Marcraft RE & EE Program, students also have the option to prepare for individual industry-level certifications in Solar PV, Wind Power and Energy Auditing, as well one of the Alternative Energy Integrator Exams.
Using current industry theory and hands-on practices, the Marcraft RE & EE Program includes:
Prepare students for ETA Certification and portions of the NABCEP Certification test.
Prepare students for ETA Certification and portions of the NABCEP Certification test.
Add mounted motors and controllers to both turbines.
Prepare students for portions of the RESNET Certification!
Combines each of the individual technologies explored in the advanced programs.
