Residential, commercial, and industrial infrastructure relies on essential components of plumbing and heating systems and the professionals who install, maintain, and repair them. In the <\/span>Associate of Science (AS) in Plumbing and Heating Technology program <\/b>at New England Institute of Technology (麻豆色情片), you gain the theoretical and hands-on experience to meet the industry’s demands and build a thriving career.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beyond the introductory theory and practices of heating and plumbing, you <\/span>develop skills in a laboratory setting<\/b> that combines two distinct but interconnected areas: heating in residential structures and plumbing in residential, commercial, and industrial facilities. Experience in both areas equips you to tackle complex challenges using a set of holistic abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Further supporting your versatile skills, you collaborate with peers studying architecture, construction management, welding engineering, and other allied professional trades programs. This network can inspire creative pursuits, enable cross-disciplinary applications of theory, and help you make connections that can lead to new partnerships or careers.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The four-term plumbing program includes the study of basic tools, fabrication methods, and fitting identification and usage. Our curriculum also covers drainage, waste, and venting, as well as approaches to designing and installing pipes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Students round out their studies with classes focused on sewage disposal and treatment, water sources and distribution, and household and industrial maintenance of piping systems. Sustainability using rainwater harvesting and greywater technology empowers students\u2019 understanding of the latest technology and innovative solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Distributed over two terms, the heating technology portion of the program examines heating systems, such as steam, warm air, and forced hot water. Students also become familiar with the burners used in conjunction with these systems and their associated control circuitry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our courses offer specialized training in electrical wiring, heat loss calculations, and system design for residential and commercial applications. Classes in the installation of heating systems, gas technology, solar heating systems, and introduction to welding ensure students graduate with a broad yet robust foundation of knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a trade, plumbing relies on practical skills. Plumbers need to know how to use their tools effectively and safely, as well as the materials and techniques to complete the job to regulatory standards. Pipe fitting, soldering, troubleshooting, and system installation are just some of the practical abilities students develop through theoretical and hands-on training.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n These experiences prepare students for the realities of their careers and help kick-start their professional path as a plumber or heating technician. In fact, 麻豆色情片’s students usually start apprenticeships under another master plumber while in the program or soon after graduation.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In New England Tech’s plumbing program, our faculty members are more than just teachers \u2014 they are mentors, advisors, and partners in your journey toward a successful career. Our team provides students with a quality education, ensuring they receive the training they need to perform professional functions successfully, from blueprint reading and drafting to system design and fixture installation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts <\/span>42,600 job openings for plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters each year through 2032<\/span><\/a>. Graduates with a plumbing associate degree should create a solid resume to start as an apprentice and fulfill this growing demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rhode Island (RI) currently employs 1,180 heating and air conditioning technicians and 2,100 plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters<\/span><\/a>. It is among the top states in the U.S. in terms of paying salaries to plumbers. Plumbing technicians in Providence and Johnston receive $29.38 and $28.52 per hour, respectively \u2014 the same as the national average.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Heating and air conditioning technicians in RI make an average of $27.09 per hour. The $25.08 per hour salary in Warwick, RI, is close to its peer cities in Florida, Texas, Nevada, and Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div> \n\n\n Our graduates can achieve jobs as:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Heating Technician<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Plumber Helper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pipefitter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Steamfitter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n One of the best ways to imagine yourself at New England Tech is to experience our campus for yourself.
