Industrial Mechanics & Maintenance Technology

Program Description:

The Industrial Mechanics & Maintenance Technology program is designed to prepare students for entry-level employment as multi-skilled maintenance technicians. Industrial Maintenance trade technicians are responsible for assembling, installing, and maintaining and repairing machinery used in the manufacturing or industrial environment.  Students receive basic instruction in a wide variety of areas including safety, machinery maintenance and troubleshooting/service, blueprint reading, basic machining operations, fundamentals of piping and hydro-testing, and fundamentals of industrial electricity.

The Industrial Mechanics & Maintenance Technology curriculum embeds opportunities to acquire multiple credentials through the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER).

A grade of “C” must be maintained in each of the Industrial Mechanics & Maintenance Technology courses.  Students who have grades below the required “C” must repeat the course.
