Two-Year Certificate of Completion Program Offered by the Mechanical Technologies Department Students learn the operation, diagnosis, testing, and repair of agricultural and light industrial equipment. Class instruction in theory is combined with shop practice. Students work with test meters, generators, alternators, regulators, starting motors, other electrical circuits and air-conditioning components.
Students perform work on customer vehicles.
Opportunities for employment are found in agricultural and industrial dealerships, area farms and ranches, rental shops, and small engine repair outlets. Since equipment is increasing in size, cost, and complexity, persons skilled in these specialty areas are always in demand. Restricted facilities limit the number of students admitted to this program. Under the supervision of the coordinator and with instructor consent, a maximum of 13 co-op credits may be earned in lieu of required Agricultural and Industrial Equipment Technology course credits. Through co-op a student can integrate theory and practice, develop skills, expand career knowledge, and make contacts for the future.
