Wind Turbine Technology
MTI >
The power of the wind to generate electricity for today’s consumer is only as reliable as the technicians who install and service the giant turbines. Today, wind is one of the fastest growing energy technologies. Wind turbine technicians and windsmiths are needed around the world to support the demand for clean, efficient energy.

This one-year or two-year program will allow students to learn about the basics of turbines, mechanics, hydraulics, electronics and the computer networks that allow the system to communicate. After the completion of two semesters, a graduate may exit with a diploma. Jobs in turbine construction, maintenance and troubleshooting will be available. The optional second year of the program, including an internship, will give graduates experience in areas like PLCs, fiber options, SCADA, electronics and more.

A graduate of the two-year AAS option will find employment opportunities in areas like power distribution, controls and other areas that move the power through the grid.

A special note about laptop computers for second-year students:

 

This program requires a laptop computer so that you can effectively integrate computing skills with your technical education. Many resources that instructors assign are online or require specialty software. To address these needs, MTI requires that students entering this program purchase their laptops from MTI. The cost for an MTI laptop averages about $1000. Please be aware that our machines come fully loaded with the software required for this program. 


Whether it's Microsoft Office, or a specialty software for a technical program, your needs will be met by your MTI laptop.  And our laptops are serviced for free by our Technology office. You will not be able to bring a laptop from home into an MTI laptop program as we cannot provide support services for every make and model of laptop. Please consider this carefully before making any laptop purchase and check with the Admissions office for more details.
