Facilities Engineering Technology Certificate
Curriculum CE.FET.CERT (C380A)
The Facilities Engineering Technology Certificate provides the lecture and hands-on training needed for employment as facility engineers for both union and non-union students. Students who come through the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 399 Education Training Fund, will have the opportunity to acquire the necessary skills for employment in jobs requiring multiple maintenance competencies, including electricity, plumbing, and boilers. These competencies will allow graduates to obtain highly skilled maintenance positions in a variety of industries, office buildings, universities, hospitals, school districts, municipalities, stadia and commercial/industrial facilities.
PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the successful completion of the Facilities Engineering Technology Certificate, the graduate will be able to:
- solve fundamental facility engineering problems;
- design improvement plans using engineering system performance data;
- safely operate facility environmental systems and equipment;
- demonstrate effective communication using written, oral, and graphic formats; and
- evaluate plans for maintenance of stationary equipment and physical structures.
Graduates of the program may seek employment as a facilities engineer, stationary operating engineer, an operating engineer, a chief engineer, maintenance foreman, or as a building maintenance supervisor.
