Process Technology

2-Year Process Technology Program in Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Process Technology professionals are responsible for ensuring manufacturing facilities run smoothly as they produce products and distribute their goods. They plan, analyze and control production and monitor and troubleshoot equipment used to convert raw materials into the products being manufactured.

If you are detail-oriented and like the satisfaction of working from beginning to end on complex projects, you should take a look at the information below and consider a future in the field of Process Technology.

Process Technology (AOS) Program

The Process Technology (AOS) Program at ITI Technical College is an intensive program that begins with a review of mathematics, success skills, and an introduction to industrial processes & systems. The program proceeds from electronics to industrial safety & environmental practices, as well as process instrumentation subjects of pressure, level temperature, flow, mechanical & fluid dynamics. Process Technology courses include industrial pump applications, maintenance, operations, and troubleshooting. Compressors and turbines and their prime movers are thoroughly covered in their course sections. The program includes introductory courses in personal computers, technical writing, and workplace communications.

The last quarter of the study covers specialized training in computer-based control systems and troubleshooting. Other courses are specific to equipment operation such as furnace and boiler operation, heat exchanger theory, operating principles and problems along with distillation course systems. Chemistry includes basic & organic chemistry and water treatment.

Each course includes class theory but they also offer an atmosphere of “real work” during laboratory sessions. Issues of environment, ecology, industrial hygiene, and industry’s responsibility to the community are embedded throughout the course. Modern equipment, tools, and training aids are coupled with an environment solidly based on industrial process concepts.

The successful graduate will be prepared to operate industrial process equipment at an entry-level position. Graduates may apply their skills to their present occupation in a related discipline. Technicians may be employed with industrial groups including aeronautics, chemical, petroleum, foods, metals, ceramics, pulp and paper, power, and textiles. Tours of public and private utilities such as water and sewage along with environmental remediation and institutional physical plants offer additional learning opportunities.

ITI Technical College provides students with the opportunity to learn trades in high demand. With a focus on hands-on learning, our school can give you the skills you need to succeed in a variety of careers.

Process Technology Technical School

When considering a Technical School, there are several important factors to keep in mind. Technical schools can offer students the opportunity to learn trade skills that can lead to good jobs. Here are four things to look for when considering a Technical School:

• First and foremost, you want to make sure the school is accredited. This means that the school has been evaluated by an outside agency and meets certain standards. Accreditation is important because it ensures that the education you receive will be of high quality.
• Secondly, you’ll want to look at the curriculum of the Technical School you’re considering. Make sure the curriculum covers the topics you’re interested in and will give you the skills you need for the job you want.
