With a balance of classroom instruction, software simulation, and electronic lab work students are challenged on theory and practice. Courses are instructed by industry professionals from the fields of their respected industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program Format<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Applied Technology degree is a two-year 60 credit hour program that provides a balance of coursework based on the student\u2019s interest from the following programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HVAC\/R<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industrial Engineering Technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Precision Machinery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Welding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automotive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Building Construction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The degree is structured by offering prescribed hours towards core programming and technical electives. The Applied Technology degree allows students to tailor a degree to match their current employment requirements or prepare for future employment. The Applied Technology degree will allow flexibility in course selection to match the student\u2019s technological interest. Students must take Intro to Manufacturing and Falcon Seminar with the balance of course work from the noted programs. In the degree pathway students are required to complete fifteen hours of general education courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Traits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Those pursuing a career in this field should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have an aptitude for math<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be able to analyze, compare and interpret facts and figures quickly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearly communicate the results of their work to clients and managers both verbally and in writing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be good at working with people, business systems, and computers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a high standard of integrity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Program Learning Outcomes<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Technical\/Equipment:<\/strong>&nbsp;Program graduates will demonstrate the technical knowledge and skills required to use industry equipment appropriately for employment in the field of Skilled Trades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety:<\/strong>&nbsp;Program graduates will demonstrate safety protocols in the field of Skilled Trades by consistently applying and adhering to current industry safety standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Problem Solving:<\/strong>&nbsp;Program graduates will demonstrate the ability to use a variety of techniques in solving problems presented in the field of Skilled Trades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Communication:<\/strong>&nbsp;Skilled Trades program graduates will effectively communicate the technical content of the field, both written and orally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applied Technology, Certificate of Achievement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Certificate of Achievement is very similar to the degree pathway yet is structured for those who are seeking a \u201cquick\u201d re-entry to the employment market or those seeking to enhance their skill set of their current employment.
