Gain the knowledge to lead Lean Six Sigma teams. Focus is on providing a comprehensive understanding of how to use the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC project methodology to eliminate waste and implement data driven process improvements. Concepts are emphasized by the extensive use of workshops and exercises. Upon successful completion participants will be able to support Black Belts on project teams or lead Six Sigma projects that do not require Black Belt level tools. Green Belts have the option of undertaking a Six Sigma Project as part of their course work.

Study various industrial sensors including discrete electro-mechanical and electronic devices, analog devices such as transducers, thermocouples, and RTDs. Prerequisites: Electrical Fundamentals I and II, Electrical Print Reading, and Basic Electronics or skills assessment.

This is an entry-level course covering the refrigeration cycle for an HVAC system. It will cover the major components of the system, the operation and troubleshooting of the refrigeration cycle.

This is an entry-level course covering the function of a heat pump, its refrigeration cycle, and electrical component operation. A working knowledge of basic HVAC is recommended for this course or prior completion of the HVAC electrical and refrigeration courses.

This course will instruct students in backflow mechanics and how cross connections can be addressed and/ or eliminated. State regulations will be presented and explained. Students will test, troubleshoot, and repair these devices. Completion of this training is a prerequisite for certification as a Backflow Prevention Device Tester in South Carolina. Additionally, students are required to attend all four days of training, pass a written exam, pass a hands-on exit exam, and own or have clear access to the appropriate testing equipment.

Brazing is used to connect copper refrigerant tubing to equipment when installing or repairing an HVAC system. Using an oxyacetylene torch, brazing is one of the best methods of making leak-proof connections. This course will teach students how to properly set up an oxyacetylene torch, prepare tubing for brazing, and how to properly melt the brazing rod to the tubing.
