HART 1368   Practicum (Or Field Experience) - Heating, Air Conditioning, And Refrigeration Technologies/Technicians (3)
This is a WECM course number.
Prerequisite: CETT 1402, HART 1403, and HART 1407.
Practical general training and experiences in the workplace. The college with the employer develops and documents an individualized plan for the student. The plan relates the workplace training and experiences to the student’s general and technical course of study. The guided external experiences may be paid or unpaid. This course may be repeated if topics and learning outcomes vary. (1 Lec., 20 Ext.)

HART 1380   Cooperative Education - Heating, Air Conditioning, And Refrigeration Technologies/Technicians (3)
This is a WECM course number.
Prerequisite: CETT 1402, HART 1403, and HART 1407.
Career related activities encountered in the student’s area of specialization are offered through a cooperative agreement between the college, employer, and student. Under supervision of the college and the employer, the student combines classroom learning with work experience. Directly related to a technical discipline, specific learning objectives guide the student through the paid work experience. This course may be repeated if topics and learning outcomes vary. (1 Lec., 20 Ext.)
