Process Technology

The Process Technology Program offers students core courses related to the Process Operations that will prepare them to develop in their careers as safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible Process technicians in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Students entering the program should realize that Process Operators generally work rotating shifts, perform tasks requiring good mental and physical aptitude, climb tall structures and work around a variety of chemicals.

The Process Technology Program is committed to serving in partnership, the community and industry with a quality, industry-driven curriculum. In addition to developing technical knowledge regarding plant operations, Process Technology students will develop their curriculum and team building skills throughout the program. For more information see the following web sites: Center for the Advancement of Process Technology .
