Your Questions About Wind Turbine Jobs

Lizzie asks…

For our Cap & Trade fun-can China make wind turbines and ship them to the United States for cheap?

Think about that; the Japanese can ship a big construction rig, why can’t the Chinese figure a way to ship a little old wind turbine?

Why don’t you build your own. You Yanks need jobs yea?

Mary asks…

What college major should I be for a job like this?

I’m very interested in alternative energy sources and want to work on things like solar panels, wind turbines, and biofuels. I want to either design new ones or work on improving them or inventing new energy sources. I was thinking about majoring in chemical engineering or environmental engineering. What do you think? Should I go more into mechanical engineering?

admin answers:

Biofuels might need a chemical or maybe petrochemical engineering degree. Wind power would probably need a mechanical engineering degree. Solar panels – maybe electrical engineering?

Why not look for a program that offers environmental engineering? Maybe you’ll find a school that gives you some good basics in all three areas. Or get the ME, and get a minor in chemistry. I would think that any decent engineering school would give you SOME background in electricity also, so the minor will help you cover the bases for the job you want.
