Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology
The courses in this curriculum are theory design and service oriented. Theory
courses deal with energy conversions. Service courses are strongly related
to a hands-on philosophy. Emphasis is placed upon operating, servicing and
installing equipment.
Graduates from this 60 credit-hour program may be employed as engineering
laboratory assistants, equipment salesmen, heating and refrigeration servicemen,
estimators and system designers or stationary engineers.
