Program Overview
This program is located on the Milford Campus.
This program is designed to provide three semesters of common core curriculum for several types of processing operations. Operators must understand and oversee all aspects of process operations facilities, including power generating facilities, fuel processing facilities and many other industries. Students will study a wide range of necessary topics to gain this broad understanding of plant operations and maintenance.
In the 4th semester, specific types of operations will be covered in detail to prepare students for careers in the type of processing plant of their choice. These courses will be offered as ten electives from which a minimum of 10 credits must be selected. Other types of processing plants include water/wastewater treatment plants, refineries, breweries, food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, steel and concrete manufacturing, among many others.
In addition to an Associate of Applied Science degree, certificate and diploma options are also offered.
Special Program Requirements
All prerequisite courses must be completed with a “C” or higher to progress through the program.
Students will be required to provide their own transportation, room and board for the internship course (ENER 1900 ).
Certain “Fitness for Duty” requirements may be required by many ENER employers as a condition of employment as an operator.
Most ENER employers require applicants to pass a criminal background check (CBC) as part of their conditions for employment.
