WIND ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
Wind energy is a rapidly growing industry in Nebraska and throughout the nation. Students in the wind energy program will learn the necessary safety skills and engage in higher skill levels needed to work in positions in the wind energy field. Students will develop their basic skills with courses in wind energy fundamentals, basic electricity, wind turbine systems, and continue with motor controls, mechanical systems, blueprint reading, and fluid fundamentals. The second year, students will engage in wind electronics for control systems that interface with programmable logic controllers and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Students will understand rigging and climbin
