The Advanced Integrated Technology (AIT) program, with its three options, involves the integration of a variety of subject matter from multiple technical disciplines in order to train you for a diverse set of skills as needed in today's high-tech industrial, power plant, and health care settings. Upon completion of an AIT degree, you will be able to install, manage, maintain, calibrate, troubleshoot, repair, test, and inspect modern-day equipment and systems having a technologically diverse design.
Articulation agreements with regional and in-state universities allow you to apply your credit hours awarded in the AIT program towards a bachelor's degree. The AIT curriculum is modularized. See how the content is divided.
For program course requirements, consult the Madisonville Advising Plan.
Upon completing the Multi-Skilled Industrial Technician option you will have a diverse set of skills and knowledge needed to obtain employment in various settings including those within the manufacturing and industrial sectors. You will be able to perform a variety of multidisciplinary tasks traditionally performed by a number of field-specific technicians, thus providing a cost effective and highly sought alternative for employers.
By completing the Medical Equipment and Instrumentation option your can obtain employment as a Biomedical Equipment Technician (BMET). BMETs work in a number of settings including: hospitals, clinics, medical universities, home medical equipment companies, equipment manufacturers, and contract service providers. Most BMETs obtain employment in hospital settings and work closely with physicians, nurses, scientists, healthcare technicians and administrators. They ensure the safe and effective use of sophisticated electronic medical technology utilized for all aspects of patient care.
The Power Plant Technician option is designed for entry level positions in the Power Plant Industry as a multi-skilled technician. These industries include, but are not limited to positions in fossil fuel, hydro, nuclear, and alternative energy power plants. Also included are any industries where steam and electricity is generated. Imbedded within the curriculum is an Edison Electrical Institute Exam prep course to help graduates be better prepared to take the power plant entrance exam.
This program has no special admission requirements. Please consult MCC’s general admission requirements.
If you are transferring from the Manufacturing and Industrial Technology curriculum at another KCTCS institution you should use the MIT-to-AIT course map-over to see how your credits will transfer into the program.
Most students complete the program within two years. Due to the flexible on-site scheduling of laboratory course work and online delivery of instructional course work, the time it takes to complete the degree requirements will vary.
