Program Description:
The Process Operations program curriculum is provided by Itasca Community College (ICC) and was created utilizing existing ICC course curriculum where possible, e.g., industrial math, technical writing, physics, etc. The Process Operations curriculum was created with emphasis on the technical and hands-on skills required for process technicians.
The specialized course development was divided into the following three areas: Process Fundamentals, Industrial Technologies, & Professional Development. Professional Development includes the following courses:
- Professional Development II: Industrial work teams and individual responsibilities
- Professional Development III: Introduction to Root Cause Failure Analysis and Industrial Quality Control concepts
- Professional Development IV: Documenting the Capstone Project
Course Description:
ENGT 2230 Process Operations Professionalism III is intended to introduce students to root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and industrial quality control concepts. It is the second in a series of courses on professional development.
Course goals and outcomes include:
- Students will be able to communicate all written and oral work in a professional manner.
- Students will identify and resolve issues related to equipment and/or procedures
- Students will continue to develop and practice the personal, team accountability, and reflection skills required to successfully analyze, define, and resolve issues related to the Process Operations Professional II capstone project or other selected case studies.
Course Contents:
