The new Energy Process Technology career program was developed in response to the influx of energy-related companies and evolving requirements for technicians within the existing industrial base of the College's service region. The program requires 65 credit hours of topics including an analytical approach to data acquisition and exploration of the principles behind environmental monitoring, assessment, management and communications. Within the curriculum, there are sequences in chemistry, mathematics, communications, electronics and physics that provide the student with a rigorous and diverse education. This background enables graduates the skill set to succeed in further training required for specialized industrial technical employment. Two capstone courses in energy and chemical instrumentation technology provide the hands-on experience with current industry equipment and processes that prepare graduates for direct entry into the workforce.
Employment opportunities for graduates include management, development, operation and maintenance of complex energy and industrial processes. According to labor.ny.gov, entry-level positions include Process Technicians, Energy Technicians, and Regulatory Technicians earning $40,000-$50,000 annually. Mid-level positions include Process Technicians, Energy Technicians, and Laboratory Technicians earning $50,000-$60,000 annually. High-level positions include Energy Technician Supervisors, Process Technician Supervisors, and Sub-Contractor Field Supervisors earning $60,000-$75,000 annually.
Energy Process Technology provides students with broad-base knowledge to become a lab technician, process technician, field technician; or pursue a career in water quality analysis. Industry has been asking for people with a broad-based technical ENERGY knowledge, and that's what this degree provides.
