Be where the Energy is<br />

The future is here for energy! Our 20 month Energy<br />

Operations program is based on the demands and<br />

guidance of the energy industry, and will prepare<br />

you for a forward moving career in the operation of<br />

a power (coal, hydro, wind, nuclear, etc) or process<br />

(ethanol, oil, bio-diesel, etc) plant.<br />

What can I expect?<br />

Our program will provide you with cutting-edge<br />

theoretical training - as well as plenty of hands-on,<br />

active experience gained in the fully equipped LATI<br />

Energy Labs. You can expect to establish a foundational<br />

understanding of energy mechanics and systems<br />

before deciding to specialize in either process or<br />

power plant operation. You will then dive into monitoring,<br />

controlling, and troubleshooting your chosen<br />

plant systems, including: electrical systems, turbines,<br />

boiler systems, and more. You will be instructed in<br />

metallurgy, pneumatics, hydraulics, thermodynamics,<br />

combustion, vibration analysis, and dynamic balancing.<br />

To make sure you have the experience you’ll need, we<br />

also require an industry internship.<br />

Dynamic Careers<br />

Graduates of our program will earn high wages in<br />

ethanol plants, power plants, wind turbine farms,<br />

pipelines, dairy and cheese processing plants, and<br />

any industry needing a skilled technician to monitor,<br />

control, and operate production equipment.<br />

A laptop is required<br />

for this program.<br />
