Graduate Certificate in Waste Resource Management - Environmental and Graduate Certificate in Wireless Information Networking (Bundle Program) Fleming College - Frost Campus (Lindsay), Canada

Waste Resource Management - Environmental
Are you passionate about the environment, with a strong belief in sustainable practices? In this unique, post-graduate program you will learn to develop and implement innovative waste management plans and strategies based on new and emerging technologies and concepts.

Program Highlights
Waste is one of the leading problems of our time – increasing waste volumes, increasing severity of impact and costs of waste management and the challenge of managing waste in developing countries and emerging markets are causing a dramatic shift in waste management practices within Ontario and world-wide. Countries around the globe are moving towards a circular economy and waste has to be dealt with in new, innovative ways rather than simply sending it to landfill. The new Waste-Free Ontario Act makes producers responsible for their waste management. Failure to take action in managing waste has economic, environmental, social as well as health and safety implications, including toxic discharge leading to pollution, increased greenhouse gas emissions, increased frequency of illnesses, and the loss of valuable resources.

The Sustainable Waste Management program is being offered exclusively at the School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences - it is the only college program in Ontario that is focused on building advanced knowledge and skills in sustainable waste management.

• The training will lead graduates to meaningful careers. You will be well-versed in the relevant legislation and existing as well as emerging technologies, with the skills to effect changes in how business and industry manage their waste and how to move them beyond the three R’s of waste management.
• The program focusses on solid waste management, but does include courses that address hazardous waste management.

Wireless Information Networking
There is a high demand for graduates who can develop and implement solutions for the configuration and integration of wireless devices and networks with wired networks in this growing technology sector.

Program Highlights
Networks, and increasingly wireless networks, are becoming the hub of commercial and industrial development across the world as we understand and experience the benefits of wireless networking for day to day functions, including:

• Operations monitoring and control
• Communications within and between organizations
• Information sharing within and between organizations
• Mobile real time accounting and cost control
• Real time sales support and marketing

At the heart of the wireless world is Wireless Information Networking (WIN), and the growing need for professionals who can develop and implement solutions for the configuration and integration of wireless devices.

Capturing data from wireless sensors or wireless synching of mobile devices within secure environments are only a couple of the types of wireless information networking challenges facing businesses, government and organizations today that this program addresses.

Building on the success of our Computer Engineering, Security, and Instrumentation and Control Diplomas, this intensive, unique Graduate Certificate program reflects the latest developments in WIN and relies heavily on applied teaching approaches. It focuses on the design, planning, implementation, operation and troubleshooting of wireless networks, and will cover a wide range of topics including:

• Cloud computing
• Server technology
• Technical project management throughout technology life cycles
• Technology as a service - preventing network wide service outages
• Domestic vs. commercial/industrial needs
• Data mining
• Wireless LAN and WAN setup, security and troubleshooting
• Embedded wireless sensor network programming
• VOIP
• 802.11 (a, b and g) technologies
• Vendor interoperability strategies
• Emerging wireless technologies
