Heavy Equipment Operations and Engineering

Great buildings, parks, neighborhoods, roads and homes depend on a properly prepared site.  Heavy Equipment Operations and Engineering will teach you to use and maintain a wide range of equipment—and to understand why and how to create landscapes that will support great structures.

Learn to: 

• Operate earth-moving equipment under actual working conditions.
• Assemble, adjust, repair and maintain electrical, ignition, hydraulic, and cooling systems.
• Engage in minor engine repair, general maintenance, lubrication, and equipment safety.
• Conduct land surveys and read blueprints.
• Identify and measure the qualities of soils.
