The <br />educational program objectives are as follows: <br />1. Obtain entry-level employment in fields related to the <br />Installation, maintenance and repair of industrial <br />devices used In automation systems. <br />2. Effectively function as a team member in technical <br />environments. <br />STUDENT OUTCOMES <br />The student outcomes of the Biomedical Technology Diploma are <br />for its graduates to attain the following: <br />a. An ability to perform basic electrical calculations for <br />electrical installations. <br />b. An ability to Install various types of electric motors and <br />motor control systems. <br />C. An ability to program programmable logic controllers <br />(PLC) in order to perform basic automated functions <br />using ladder logic coding concepts. <br />d. An ability to install, monitor, maintain and <br />troubleshoot programmable logic control systems and <br />related Industrial devices. <br />e. An ability to test, calibrate, and troubleshoot <br />pneumatic and hydraulic based devices used in <br />industrial processes, <br />f. An ability to function as team members in a technical <br />environment. <br />MODE OF PROGRAM DELIVERY <br />This program Is delivered In either a residential or a distance <br />learning modality. Students decide which modality to complete <br />the program at the time of enrollment contingent on program <br />availability. When delivered In a residential modality, courses are <br />delivered primarily at the campus with some courses having an <br />asynchronous didactic learning component integrated into the <br />curriculum (i.e, online materials to support the courses residential <br />delivery). When delivered In a distance learning modality, all <br />courses are delivered online. Courses delivered online utilize both <br />asynchronous and synchronous methods. The school reserves the <br />right to change the mode of delivery for any course if necessary, <br />Including the extent to which asynchronous and synchronous <br />Instructional methods are utilized for delivery through distance <br />learning. The program objectives and outcomes remain the same <br />regardless of the mode of program delivery. <br />O*NET SOC OCCUPATIONS <br />WNET is a taxonomy of hundreds of occupations and an online <br />resource for occupational information.
