Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Listed by School

The Industrial Maintenance Technology program prepares students for a broad range of industrial maintenance-related careers using industry-guided curriculum combined with practical hands-on labs.

First year studies include hand and power tools, precision measurement, fasteners, mechanical drawings, machine components, electrical circuits and prints, mechanical power transmission, machining, piping, robotics, rigging, pneumatics and hydraulics.

During the second year, students learn pumps and compressors, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), electric motors and transformers, electric motor controls, and troubleshooting industrial maintenance equipment.

Students gain experience and skills in many industrial subjects, so they enter industry as a multi-craft, skilled-trades professional.

Students learn to think critically and apply their knowledge to solve problems on the plant and factory floor. Students learn employability skills and how to successfully work in teams.

This program produces what today’s industry requires: a college-educated, multi-skilled professional to successfully tackle the 21st century industrial environment.

Students have the option of an alternate second year emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing Technology. This encompasses computer-integrated manufacturing and automation, and Industry 4.0/IIoT (the Industrial Internet of Things).

Marketable skills for this award include: building effective relationships, critical thinking, customer service, and technical skills.
