Wind Energy Technology
As a wind energy technician, your options are sky-high. You can
work at turbine construction and manufacturing sites, in the
distribution and generation industries, at utility companies, or
on wind farms anywhere in the country. At TSTC you'll learn to
conduct efficiency studies and manage personnel, materials and
machines in factories, offices and production sites. You'll also
prepare machinery and equipment layouts, plan workflow for
turbine construction and maintenance, conduct statistical studies of
product quality and time usage, and analyze production costs. Upon
successful completion of our program, you’ll be qualified to operate
and maintain the systems that make a wind turbine function.
Wind Energy Technology is offered at the Harlingen and
Sweetwater campuses.
First-Year Seminar Requirement
