Transcription

1 ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE IN TRADES MANAGEMENT --HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) The Associate of Applied Science in Trades Management Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) program trains students in the installation, servicing and maintenance of a wide variety of refrigeration, heating, and air conditioning equipment. It also includes instruction in general management skills needed to operate effectively in a business environment. Graduates will be prepared to: lead others through effective organization, fostering of team activity and efficient communication; create, analyze and interpret financial statements, and develop innovative approaches that address real and potential challenges. They will also be prepared to develop, implement and evaluate systems to maintain consistent client expectations regarding exceptional customer service. Graduates of the program may seek positions managing business operations in the industrial arena including air conditioning, heating and refrigeration products in the installation service; maintenance of equipment or as a maintenance person in buildings where such systems are installed. Upon completion of the program, students will receive an Associate of Applied Science Degree.
