... A specialization in Industrial Systems & Engineering Technology

Whether the location is residential, commercial or industrial, only a qualified plumber has the skills required to install and service the vast variety of plumbing and heating equipment available today. Advances in related technology provide new career opportunities for plumbers continuously. And, the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners reports a big shortage of plumbers in the state.

The Industrial Systems & Engineering Technology (ISE) department at Texas State Technical College offers a Plumbing & Pipefitting Specialization designed to help you learn the ins and outs of this important field.

Plumbers and pipefitters provide vital expertise to many industries and businesses ... and earn excellent salaries with that expertise. As a plumber's career progresses, the sizes and types of plumbing projects change, along with work locations—no two jobs are the same. These professionals install, service and maintain a wide range of systems—from cold water to sanitation, from service appliances to oil-fueled heating systems and water heaters to inner cookers.
