Program Title
Electron Microscopy: Field Service Technician Advanced Training
Submission Type
New Program
TOPs Code
Electron Microscopy (093470)
Projected Start Date

Catalog Description
This program is designed to promote the student to work within the Microscopy Sector, as an entry-level field engineer to support any and all Microscopy related equipment and sample preparation tool sets. After attaining a certificate of achievement in Field Service Technician Advanced Training, completion of tasks include services on all component subsystem parts, basic preventative maintenance and daily upkeep of tool sets along with advanced troubleshooting of all issues that may arise from daily usage and wear and tear on the system. Skillets would focus on system level schematics that would be viable for success in the field as an Advanced Level Technician or Field Service Engineer. Students understand the basic component operations, locations, design, failure types, replacement strategies and Advanced Troubleshooting skills to isolate vacuum issues or electronics failures to compartmentalize root causes and source of failures on a variety of microscope types from basic to complicated systems.
Enrollment Completer Projections
10-15, we are working on a fast track program to get more completers.
There is an increasing need for Operator/Technician in the field of Electron Microscopy, but there also follows a need for technicians that fix the systems on the back end of operations. Due to this every increasing need as stated on the LMI report, this technician certificate is now generated to meet that demand in industry to fill this void.
