3D Visualization has revolutionized the way buildings and spaces are designed, constructed, operated and maintained. Evaluating how and where to employ it efficiently and successfully is an emerging in-demand skill set. The 3D Visualization for the Built Environment microcredential will provide you with skills development in Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D Rendering Tools, GIS, Digital Twins and Virtual Reality/3D Printing applications for design, presentation, construction and ongoing operations and maintenance of buildings and spaces.
Building on the knowledge of modelling and simulating a whole building with simple systems (XBEM 3050 or equivalent experience), this course focuses on the representation of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems of the complexity relevant to real-world projects. In practice, buildings which require detailed energy models are typically large, complex, or both, with different zones using different systems. Delivering fresh air and space conditioning efficiently, meeting recent, high-performance codes, standards and certifications, relies on modern, well designed building systems. Modelling these appropriately, following the required level of accuracy – not too detailed but resolving all relevant features – is critical for a professional energy modeller. This course will show how common systems are modelled and will also equip the learner with the information on how to model new systems they might encounter.
The ADAS Calibration course is part of a comprehensive training program designed to equip automotive and collision technicians with the knowledge and skills to accurately diagnose, repair and calibrate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This hands-on course provides detailed on-vehicle activities using the latest industry-specific diagnostic and calibration equipment. ADAS technology promotes the principles of the green economy and clean transportation by improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, preventing accidents, optimizing traffic flow, supporting electric vehicles, reducing accidents & the number of vehicles entering scrap yards and facilitating infrastructure planning. As these systems continue to advance, they will play an increasingly vital role in achieving a greener and more sustainable transportation ecosystem.
Prerequisite(s) – Automotive service, collision technician or level-3 equivalent apprentice.
This course incorporates simulator activities delivered via a cloud-based solution accessible through a web browser. Upon successful completion, participants will attain an advanced level of proficiency. This proficiency enables them to navigate simulated thermal power plant operations, evaluate control loops in a simulated environment, summarize the effects of process modifications through manipulation of the Thermal Power Plant model, articulate strategies for enhancing economic plant performance, and test and modify control logic in dynamic environments. These acquired skills not only empower participants within their professional roles but also contribute significantly to improving safety standards in the energy industry. Furthermore, they play a pivotal role in supporting Canada’s transition to a low-carbon economy. Evaluation will be based on individual simulation lab work, with a passing mark being a prerequisite for obtaining the Microcredential.
Analyze advanced modelling using GIS technology with practical hands-on skills that align with industry demands in senior level employment. You will gain exposure to the latest technology and subscription-based solutions and learn Esri-based solutions that are applicable in a wide range of industries.
Recommended Experience
Opportunity to build on your GIS microcredential
Water and wildlife are two of Canada’s most precious resources. It is important to understand the ecology of each. In this microcredential, you will learn about freshwater aquatic ecology, how to safely sample and interpret water quality of waterbodies, and how to identify fish species inhabiting Saskatchewan.
The intended audience is anyone wanting to enter the natural resource/environmental tourism sector or supplement their current training. Technicians who work in northern mines, or for environmental consulting companies, and do field sample collection, would benefit from understanding wildlife management techniques. Another group of intended learners is Indigenous youth and adults. The earner of this microcredential will be able to describe the ecological land classification system ecology of land associated with lake ecosystems and understand resource legislation relevant to Indigenous peoples and how these topics relate to conservation management.
Are you interested in biomass use as an alternative energy source? The Biomass Handling microcredentials help you analyze on-field and harvest efficiency, drying moister content, and choosing cost-efficient bale collection and handling methods. This microcredential focuses on nature-based solutions to produce energy and is one of four under the theme of Biomass production, handling, storage, and distribution.
Intended learners for this training are existing or potential employees of power generation, mining, or agricultural companies, and residents of rural or remote communities where biomass is harvested, collected, and stored, including First Nations and rural agricultural communities.
Alternative energy and agriculture? Plants produce biomass that can be burned for heat or converted to renewable energy. However, it takes planning. The Biomass Production Raw Materials micro-credential looks at biomass production and prepares participants to select materials, plan fields, assess parameters, and prep fields for the next season. This micro- credential focuses on nature-based solutions to produce energy and is one of four under the theme of Biomass production, handling, storage, and distribution.
Intended learners for this training are existing or potential employees of power generation, mining, or agricultural companies, and residents of rural or remote communities where biomass is harvested, collected, and stored, including First Nations and rural agricultural communities.
How do you store biomass? The Biomass Storage micro-credential assists participants in their learning journey by training them to assess optimal storage locations and conditions, create fire codes and standards for bale storage, and create a bale storage yard design. This micro-credential is one of four under the theme of Biomass production, handling, storage, and distribution.
Intended learners for this training are existing or potential employees of power generation, mining, or agricultural companies, and residents of rural or remote communities where biomass is harvested, collected, and stored, including First Nations and rural agricultural communities.
