Program Description: The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Power Plant Technology program is designed to provide trade-related classroom training as required by the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, the State of Arizona, Apprenticeship Division, and the National Academy for Nuclear Training. The program consists of a core curriculum that is common to all power plant disciplines. The student selects a track of study – mechanical, electrical, instrumental, heating ventilation and air conditioning, welding, machining, radiation protection technician, or non-licensed operator – to complete specialized craft-related training.
Program Notes:
· *Indicates any approved general education course in the core or distribution area that meets the minimum requirements for an Associates of Applied Science degree is allowed. Please refer to the college catalog for a list of approved courses.
· Students must earn a grade of "C" or better for all courses within the program.
Program Pathway Notes: Program sequence is based on a full-time student schedule (12 credits or more per semester). If you are a part-time student, the order of these classes will be helpful but it will take additional terms to complete. This version of the program will be used for advising and student planning purposes. Any developmental course requirements should be completed prior to starting the courses listed belowas they may be required for enrollment in courses listed in the term sequence.
