Building Maintenance Technology
Associate of Applied Science (Two year program)
The Building Maintenance Curriculum is designed for the student who wants a diversified knowledge in the technical skills.
The student will acquire an understanding of the theory and skills necessary to manage and provide technical support for all phases of maintenance - electrical construction, plumbing, heating, controls for heating, blueprint reading and estimating, electrical power systems, and air conditioning. The curriculum will qualify a student for entry-level positions in a variety of technical occupations including building and industrial maintenance. It will also prepare the student for self-employment.
This program provides the student the opportunity to:
- learn technologies repairing and replacing H.V.A.C. systems.
- to acquire troubleshooting skills with electrical, mechanical, plumbing and H.V.A.C. equipment.
The graduate of this program is able to:
- explain different electrical components used in H.V.A.C. equipment.
- describe how to repair various types of H.V.A.C. equipment.
- troubleshoot modern H.V.A.C. equipment.
- properly set up a hydronic heating system.
