Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition, known in the industry as SCADA, is
emerging as one of the fastest expanding areas of industry today. The program
teaches students to use computers to collect management data and to use
automated systems. Industries are placing greater emphasis on remotely controlling
switching devices, gathering accurate inventory data, managing the operation
of electrical devices, measuring and metering electrical systems, and automating
routine tasks.
SCADA technicians will find employment in electric power utilities, gas
companies, water systems, security systems, and in industrial applications.
Graduates will install and maintain remote switches and communication
devices, or operate computer networks to control remote switches. This
is the only program of its kind currently in the U.S.
Please Note: Students in
this program will be required to lease a laptop computer from MTI. Please
see the Admissions office or Department Head for details.
