Critical Environments & Data Center Operations

The Critical Environments and Data Center Operations associate degree program is designed to develop the technical
knowledge and hands-on skills required to support mission-critical facilities and data center infrastructure. The planned
sequence of courses prepares students to install, operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and optimize the electrical,
mechanical, environmental, and communications systems that support continuous operations in critical environments.
Students develop competencies in power distribution systems, backup power systems, environmental controls,
structured cabling, fiber optic infrastructure, industrial controls, networking, preventive maintenance, monitoring systems,
and incident response procedures. Emphasis is placed on safety, reliability, operational readiness, and industry best
practices for maintaining facilities.
