A four-year apprenticeship emphasizes the skill set required to be a highly skilled craftsman. Pile Driving is the art of driving down piles with rigs that are large machines that resemble cranes. Work can include driving concrete and metal piling as part of a foundation system, or driving wood and concrete piling to support docks and bridges. Pile Drivers can also be found on offshore oil rigs and as commercial divers in underwater construction.
At the completion of this program, it is expected that a student would be able to demonstrate the following: Applied Industrial Technology (Pile Driving) Degree Outcomes.pdf
