Last Chance to Register for the Centre for Urban Energy’s Electrical Engineering 101

Jan 3, 2020

The Centre for Urban Energy’s Electrical Engineering 101 seminar series will return next week. Ryerson has re-opened their registration, offering one last chance to register.

The series will run for 12 weeks, starting Wednesday, January 8, 2020. Sessions will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. at Ryerson’s brand new Centre for Urban Innovation at 44 Gerrard Street East, Toronto. 

This seminar series introduces the fundamental concepts of electrical engineering to those without an engineering background looking to break into or advance their career in the energy sector. The series aims to equip participants with the foundational tools they need to speak confidently and contribute effectively in energy-related roles. The series has been updated and revamped for 2020 — based on feedback from our industry partners and previous participants.

Employers may also be interested in sending their employees to take this series as part of ongoing professional development and training initiatives. At the end of the seminar series, participants will be provided with a record of attendance and a hard copy of all learning materials.
