Construction Management

Construction managers plan, direct, coordinate, and budget a wide variety of construction projects, including the building of all types of residential, commercial, and industrial structures, road, bridges, wastewater treatment plants, schools, and hospitals. Construction managers may supervise an entire project or just part of one. They schedule and coordinate all design and construction processes, including the selection, hiring, and oversight of specialty trade contractors, such as carpentry, plumbing, or electrical, but they usually do not do any actual construction of the structure.

Electrical Control Technology

Electrical Control Systems technicians inspect, maintain, check, install, service and repair the electrical systems and controls that are used in commercial and industrial applications, mostly in the manufacturing arena. These technicians are involved in the maintenance and repair of both electrical and electronic systems and components. Business and other organizations depend on complex electronic and electrical equipment for a variety of functions, and cannot allow machinery to sit idle, and thus a good amount of the work is centered around removing the defective parts and replacing with new ones.

Emergency Medical Services

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a vital component of healthcare, public health and public safety. On any given day, in almost every community in our nation, EMS responds to patient calls for help, 24/7. These personnel deal with an ex- traordinary range of conditions and severity on a daily basis—from mild fevers to massive head traumas. The work they do is challenging, stressful, at times dangerous, and often highly rewarding. EMS includes emergency calls to 9-1-1; dispatch of emergency personnel to the scene of an illness or trauma; and triage, treatment, and transport of patients by ambulance and air medical service.

Machine Tool Technology

Machinists use machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, and grinders to produce precision metal parts. Although they may produce large quantities of one part, precision machinists often produce small batches or one-of-a kind items. They use their knowledge of the working properties of metals and their skill with machine tools to plan and carry out the operations needed to make products that meet precise specifications.

Welding and Joining Technology

Welding is the most common way of permanently joining metal parts. In this process, heat is applied to metal pieces, melting and fusing them to form a permanent bond. Welders work in a variety of industries, from car racing to manufacturing. The difficulty of the weld is determined by its position-horizontal, vertical, overhead, or 6G, circular, as in large pipes, and by the type of metals to be used. Welders and cutters may work outdoors, often in inclement weather, or indoors, sometimes in a confined are designed to contain sparks and glare. About 50% of welders, solderers, and brazers work 40 hours a week, overtime is common, and about 1 out of every 5 welders work 50 or more hours per week.
