Who’s Enrolling?
About 50 percent of current students joined the program because they are interested in conserving the environment and natural resources.
The other half of ARES students wanted to apply their technical backgrounds to the emerging global market in renewable energy technologies.
Green Light for Green Standards
Recent state and federal laws are creating a need for trained professionals to meet “green” standards in buildings. According to industry professionals and noted educational leaders, this will spur a growing demand for qualified technologists to work hand-in-hand with engineers to bring the practical applications of alternative energy to life.
