Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)/Drone Technology Drones, also called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have no human pilot onboard, and instead are either controlled by a person on the ground or autonomously via a computer program. These stealth craft are becoming increasingly popular, not just for war and military purposes, but also for everything from wildlife and atmospheric research to disaster relief and sports photography. Drones are becoming the eyes and ears of scientists by surveying the ground for archaeological sites, signs of illegal hunting and crop damage, and even zipping inside hurricanes to study the wild storms. You can even rent a personal drone to soar above the horizon and snap a photo or video. (narrative credited to livescience.com).

H.O.T. CERTIFICATE Heavy Construction Equipment Operator Certificate  NEW  Construction equipment operators drive, maneuver, or control the heavy machinery used to construct roads, bridges, buildings, and other structures. Construction equipment operators use machinery to move construction materials, earth, and other heavy materials at construction sites and mines. They operate equipment that clears and grades land to prepare it for construction of roads, bridges, and buildings, as well as airport runways, power generation facilities, dams, levees, and other structures. Construction equipment operators work in nearly every weather condition. Workers often get dirty, greasy, muddy, or dusty. Most work full time, and some operators may have irregular hours. Some construction projects, especially road building, are done at night. Employment of construction equipment operators is projected to grow 19% from 2012 to 2022, faster than the average for all occupations. Spending on infrastructure should generate many new jobs for construction equipment operators. Workers who can operate multiple types of equipment should have the best job opportunities. The median annual wage for construction equipment operators was $40,980 in May 2012. Harford Community College will be using the NCCER curriculum on Heavy Equipment Operations.

Heavy Equipment Safety This course introduces the student to working around heavy equipment in a safe and responsible manner. The student will learn how to use personal protective equipment, set up barricades and barriers, and use flags and paddles to control traffic. This course also covers trenching and excavation safety precautions. Harford Community College will be using the NCCER curriculum on Heavy Equipment Operations. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to do the following: explain the importance of safety when working with heavy equipment; state the purposes of signs, tags, barricades, and lockout/tagout devices used on construction sites; describe the long- and short-term health effects, firstaid measures, handling and storage, and/or required personal protective equipment (PPE) for a chemical using a material data safety sheet (MSDS); identify safeguards used in a highway construction work zone; state general guidelines for safe operation, maintenance, and transportation of heavy equipment; and explain the dangers of working around an excavation area with heavy equipment.

Identification of Heavy Equipment This course introduces the student to the most commonly used heavy equipment machines, including dump trucks, backhoes, excavators, and dozers. It also provides an overview of heavy equipment used in the mining industry. Coverage of drive systems and hydraulic systems is included. Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to identify the various types of heavy equipment and explain their primary uses, identify and explain the systems that make up the drive system used on heavy equipment, and explain the basics of a hydraulic system and identify hydraulic components.
