加热、通风 & Air Conditioning - Refrigeration
The HVAC/R program is unique because it treats 设计ing, 改造, 测试, and balancing on a problem-solving level. This specialized program prepares the technician for the fast-growing, highly technical HVAC/R field.
The challenge for the service technician is to optimize the service operation of HVAC/R systems to maximize customer and
Students learn current methods of identifying and performing efficiency evaluations on various types of heating, 通风, and air-conditioning systems as well as adjusting and balancing 设备 for maximum performance.
In addition to HVAC/R classroom theory sessions, students also perform service and installation on numerous live projects on and off-campus. The HVAC/R laboratory includes tools, 设备, 电脑, and instrumentation typically found in commercial, 住宅, 工业环境. The lab also includes ground source heat pumps, 高效燃气炉, 普通热泵, 燃油锅炉, 燃气和燃油锅炉, 冰机, 未经预约而来的盒子, 屋顶设备, 冷水机组系统, and commercial refrigeration trainers.
Challenging careers abound on a national level with firms offering graduates a variety of positions as service technicians, 安装技术人员, 估计, and in-plant industrial technicians.
