Dear Harford Community, Hello! I hope you like our “All in One” course catalog. We heard your suggestions and are trying to make finding, registering and paying for our courses as easy as possible. This will be the last semester for Continuing Education and Training to be away from Edgewood Hall. The plan is to be back and fully operational in January 2017. Until then, we are still located in Darlington Hall with the same operational hours: Monday – Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m; Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. We welcomed Dr. Dianna G. Phillips as the new President of Harford Community College on August 1. Dr. Phillips’ extensive background, educational experience and immense enthusiasm for the College and local community are a tremendous asset for the division of Continuing Education and Training. We are very excited to have her on board! As always, if you have questions, need help in registering, or wish to meet with an advisor, please call 443-421-2376, option 1.

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). Be ready with Harford Community College’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle/Drone Technology classes: • Maintenance and Repair of UAV/Drones • Soldering Techniques/Basic UAV/ Drone Electronics • UAV/Drone Aviation/Pilot Training

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. For more information, email vcyran@harford.edu.

H.O.T. CERTIFICATE Landscaping/Grounds/Gardening Technology Certificate Landscape technicians perform various gardening and lawn maintenance duties in order to turn outdoor spaces into functional or attractive areas. They also maintain residential and commercial landscapes so they remain healthy and trim. The nature of the work is often laborious and requires significant physical effort. Although formal education is generally not required, landscape technicians may opt for certifications to increase their employment potential. In addition to creating landscapes and outdoor areas, landscape technicians maintain them as well. Pruning, mowing, edging, trimming, fertilizing and watering are done by landscape technicians. They may spray plants, trees and grass with pesticides to control destructive insects and diseases. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that landscape technicians/grounds maintenance workers are expected to see a 13% increase in employment from 2012-2022, which is about average. Job prospects are best in regions where the weather allows for yearround landscaping and gardening. Grounds maintenance workers earned a mean yearly salary of $31,720 in May 2013. Classes will resume in spring 2017. For more information, email vcyran@harford.edu.

How to Prevent a Catastrophic Event to Your Water and Wastewater Systems Operators and superintendents must recognize many of the common Standard Practices used at water and wastewater systems today can lead to a potential catastrophic issue at their facilities. This course looks at some of these issues where, if not addressed, can ultimately lead to events that potentially cause bodily harm or even kill operators and customers if not effectively addressed. First, we will look at the results of lack of verification of even the very basic chemicals delivered to our facilities, document case histories where events have occurred, and show system personnel how simple and easy a verification program is to establish. Next, we will address operational issues such as the laboratory result where the Pink-Red color that develops in the DPD Chlorine test, but is not chlorine, and what operations personnel can to do to mitigate these issues. Additionally, learn why the Infrastructure Age requires extra vigilance to prevent system contamination. Even with backflow prevention, the fact remains that a garden hose is still the number one potential contamination source for water systems. We will discuss why water stagnation and biofilm formation can lead to bacterial contamination and how operations can minimize these issues with simple low-cost steps.
