TECHNOLOGY<br />
ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE<br />
116 CREDITS<br />
Admission Dates: Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer<br />
Program Mission: The Building & Plant Maintenance<br />
<strong>Technology</strong> degree prepares students for entry level<br />
Preventive Maintenance Engineering positions targeted<br />
toward multistoried commercial <strong>of</strong>fice complexes and a<br />
wide variety <strong>of</strong> industrial manufacturing and food service<br />
equipment maintenance positions.<br />
This program is an introduction to understanding the variety<br />
and nature <strong>of</strong> the complex relationships between a large<br />
structure, its tenants, and the machinery that supports the<br />
building or the manufacturing process. Included are basic<br />
principles <strong>of</strong> Preventive Maintenance, HVAC, Refrigeration,<br />
Boilers, Electricity and Wiring, Power Generation &<br />
Distribution, Building Automation and Controls and Critical<br />
Support Equipment. Requirements needed for the safe, cost<br />
effective, ecological and ergonomic mechanical support<br />
for a commercial building or manufacturing process are<br />
also taught. Students will receive instruction on applicable<br />
local, State, and Federal Codes, sustainable energy practices;<br />
with an emphasis on being prepared to continue to pursue<br />
lifelong learning opportunities in the mechanical and<br />
building engineering fields.<br />
