2. Use specified hand and power tools for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning.

3. Perform basic hand skills in maintaining Refrigeration and Air Conditioning system to a given specifications.

4. Read and interpret basic electrical drawing and symbols related to Refrigeration and Air Conditioning.

5. Perform basic troubleshooting and repair of domestic refrigeration and air conditioning units.

Participate in the Air Conditioning and refrigeration profession

Program History

B. Program History

The program was created by recommendations of Pohnpei Campus Advisory Council to offer a certificate of achievement (COA) in refrigeration and air conditioning to train local students to acquire skills in installation, preventive maintenance and repair of the stated equipment and devices, which was a needed skill in the community and the local workforce.

Milestones:

2005 - One full time instructor was recruited to assist in designing the curriculum and offered courses on the same year. The first batch of refrigeration and air conditioning major are composed of twelve (12) new students.

2007 – The program students were actively involved in the first Technology and Trade Exhibit event of the college.

2008 – The college purchased modern refrigeration and air conditioning instrument and equipment used for instructional purposes to improve the program.

2010 – The program had one graduate student to be part of the apprenticeship- training program under the USDOL, FSM education department and the college.

2011 - Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Students Club (RACSC) was established with a mission of creating an open environment for refrigeration students to engage in professional and personal growth.

2013 –The Office of Environment and Emergency Management (OEEM) of the FSM national government and COM-FSM Pohnpei Campus hosted the first “Good Practices in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning” Train the Trainers program in the Federated States of Micronesia. It was sponsored by the United Nation Environment Programme (UNEP) as part of the implementation of the Montreal Protocol here in the FSM.

2014 – The Memorandum of Understanding between the FSM Office of Environment and Emergency Management and the College of Micronesia-FSM on Training and Capacity Building for the Management of Ozone Depleting Substances were sign by both parties.

2015 – The COM-FSM Board of Regents approved the program modification for the Certificate of Achievement in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning to be effective Fall 2015 during their August 6-7, 2015 meeting in Pohnpei State. The modification is not implemented due to faculty workload issue.

2016 – Re-established the RAC program advisory council.
