The field of power plant technology offers one of the best paying and most interesting careers for the technician. Job demand is strong in the power plant technology field.

Employers often hire graduates for work in other operations besides power plants, taking advantage of their theoretical and practical training in mechanical and electrical technology. Besides power plants, job settings include research and development facilities, industrial process operations, or the sales and service fields.

Students learn all phases of the industry including how to operate, repair, and maintain all types of power plant equipment. These include steam plants, pressure vessels and other equipment.

Students receive a program certificate upon successful completion of the program. Additional course work may lead to a program diploma or an Associate in Applied Science degree. View also program diploma and degree requirements.
