The Industrial Plant Operations specialization prepares you to be a certified power plant operator focusing on plant safety, minor maintenance, reading diagrams, instrumentation and control measurement, plant boilers, turbines, water treatment and air and water pollution control.
Hybrid Classes
Many of the courses required for an EIT associate degree or certificates are offered as “hybrid” courses, with instruction offered via the internet, combined with hands-on laboratory components.
Work Environment
Industrial plant workers of all types may work indoors and outdoors, possibly in adverse weather conditions. They may have to work in confined spaces, or high places, may do rounds and check equipment. Their environment may be noisy and workers must follow safety precautions and use protective equipment. Most workers are employed full-time, and many work rotating shifts, which can be tiring.
