CE.CSM.CERT (C381A)

Total Program Credits: 33

The Critical Systems Maintenance Certificate provides both lecture and hands-on training for facility engineers working in critical system environments. Students who come through Local 399 will become familiar with the design and operations of mission critical facilities in order to address risk tolerance, reliability, maintainability, and predictive maintenance. They will also acquire the necessary skills for employment in jobs requiring multiple maintenance competencies. 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

Upon successful completion of the Critical Systems Maintenance Certificate, the graduate will be able to:

• maintain systems and functions associated with mission-critical systems and the maintenance of facilities;
• troubleshoot predictive and preventative maintenance functions of facilities; and
• demonstrate effective communication using written, oral, and graphic formats.

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.
