Students in this program may select either the
Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration specialty (HVAC/R)
or the Building Maintenance specialty. HVAC/R technicians work
on systems that control temperature, humidity, and air quality
of enclosed spaces. They are required to design, install,
service, and maintain the various types of equipment used to
control human comfort, preservation of food products, critical
medical supplies, and computer and mechanical processes in
residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional
environments. Building maintenance technicians must have most
of these same skills in addition to being able to maintain the
aesthetic and structural integrity of buildings. They may also
be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of mechanical,
plumbing, and electrical equipment, as well as grounds-keeping.
They should be versatile enough to do routine painting, drywall,
plastering, woodworking, pool maintenance, as well as some
custodial work. Both of the above technicians must have a
strong mechanical aptitude, be self-motivated, willing to accept
challenges, and have a structured approach to problem solving.
They should also have good communication skills, the ability to
work well with others, and understand all aspects of the
construction trade. Employment opportunities vary with each
specialty. |
