Clayton, Ohio -- On Wednesday November 13, 2019, all Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) Adult Education Electrical & HVAC students toured Caterpillar Operations located at 6611 Hoke Road Clayton.

During the tour students learned a variety of requirements when it comes to the day to day operations of over 1.3 million square feet of space involving not only Electrical and HVAC-R system requirements but all requirements from a maintenance aspect:
- Load Data
- Load Calculation
- Load Analysis

The tour was a huge success as students were able to ask many questions and were able to connect curriculum to real-world applications. They also were able to see how Caterpillar promotes the health and safety of its people with policies and proactive programs that help individuals stay safe, personally and professionally as well as see how companies develop products, manufacturing processes, and training programs to minimize safety risks.
