Studies of heating and ventilation allow students to work in a variety of industries, including mechanical engineering, metallurgy enterprises, chemical, oil and gas. Students learn the theory and practice of heat and air transfer, which they can then use to operate, construct and repair systems such as turbines and boilers.

A master program may be offered in a variety of different fields, allowing students of almost any subject to enhance their knowledge and improve their credentials. This degree generally takes one to three years to obtain, although requirements may vary.
