Schools for Instrumentation

Instrumentation generally comes under electrical engineering. Enquire with the schools' faculties of electrical engineering.

TRY rit.edu and university of rochester. i would write to a major instruments company that i would want to work for and ask them for recommendations on a school good luck

I teach PLC controls, design, installation, operation and programming. Part of my class is dedicated to troubleshooting HVAC/R systems.

Dear jcchiefeng:

I agree with Guest's post to check out Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester NY. You'll have to Major in either Electrical Engineering (BS) or Electrical Engineering Technology (BT). You'll love the Rochester area as well....downtown is very Cosmopolitan in a sense, and there's lots to do if you get time off from studying (not likely that much, sorry to say, because of the extremely fast pace of study!!! ***LOL***).

When I attended RIT (my Major was Civil Engineering/Environmental, w/ a Minor degree of study in Structural Engineering) I had 5 roommates that were majoring in Electrical Engineering (either BS or BT). All are now working for top notch companies (like BOSE, HP, and IBM, amongst others) throughout the world. In fact two work exclusively w/ instrumentation. The EE Profs at RIT are top notch and the leaders in their fields worldwide.....even the CIA uses them for consulting work! Don't be alarmed if you see "Men in Black" wandering around the campus someday!!! LOL

If you hold an AAS degree you may be able to transfer most of those education credits directly into the RIT Electrical Engineering Technology (BT) program. One great aspect of the Bach. Technology program at RIT is that you get to work several Quarters with companies in a Co-op program, thereby gaining invaluable experience that also looks great on your resume. A lot of companies are always looking for experienced personnel. Also, what you earn on Co-op work studies helps defray the cost of a higher education!

If you go the EE (BS) program route, because it's a program more based on the theoretical and heavily reliant on calculus, there's a possibility that not all of your AAS credits may transfer and you'll be required to take additional courses including calculus, physics, chemistry, and possibly some advanced computer science course and programming.

I hope this information helps you! Let us know how you make out Sir! Have a great sunny day!
