Course Description

Provides "hands-on" work experience for students enrolled in Facilities Maintenance Technology. Department permission required. Audit available.

Intended Outcomes for the course

  • Obtain a Co-Op position in a real world facility through application and interview.
  • Meet the workplace standards of the Co-Op employer.
  • Develop a set of goals specific to the Co-Op site and the equipment available at the site.
  • Meet the set of goals.
  • Meet all industry safety standards and specific facility safety standards.

Course Activities and Design

The student is responsible for interviewing for and finding an acceptable Co-Op site and must register for the number of credits equivalent to the number of hours that he/she will work. The student, site supervisor and FMT instructor develop a set of up to five goals and activities specific to the equipment at that site that the student will accomplish during the Co-Op experience. The student then shadows and works with an experienced technician.

Outcome Assessment Strategies

Assessment is accomplished with a written check list and commentary form filled in by the site supervisor at end of the student’s hours of work. It is reviewed by the Co-Op instructor and the student. A letter grade is then assigned.
