Instrumentation & Control Technology program begins in fall
BSC will begin offering Instrumentation and Control Technology, a new two-year program, this fall. Students will begin with courses in Electronics Technology for the first year of the Instrumentation & Control (I&C) program. The second-year courses in I&C will begin in the fall of 2009.
Students in the program will gain the skills and knowledge to install, repair, upgrade, maintain and troubleshoot instrumentation and control systems. They will earn an associate in applied science degree or a diploma upon successful completion of the program.
BSC is the only college in the N.D. University System offering this two-year program.
Representatives from North Dakota's energy industry requested that BSC offer the program to help meet the growing need for skilled instrumentation and control technicians in North Dakota's power plants, ethanol plants and other process plants. Other employment opportunities would be with manufacturers of appliances, medical equipment, or others industrial sites in which automated systems are used.
For information about the program, contact Bob Arso, chair of the Industrial Technology Department, at 701-224-5416. For information about admissions, contact Marla Hagemeister at 701-224-2475.
