Industrial
Maintenance Technology
Associate of Applied Science
There are two concentrations within the Industrial Maintenance Technology
program. The Chemical concentration prepares graduates for
a position as a process operator/technician in a manufacturing facility.
Students will gain an understanding of chemistry and chemical processes
as well as blueprint reading, electrical and mechanical fundamentals,
and computer skills. Emphasis will be placed upon the
understanding and troubleshooting of process systems. The program
combines classroom study and practical hands-on experience. The
courses in the program emphasize safe and efficient work practices,
teamwork, communication skills, and real world case studies.
The
Electromechanical concentration prepares graduates for a position as
a maintenance technician in an environment where electrical machinery
and electro-pneumatic systems are prevalent. Students will develop
a wide variety of technical skills in electrical fundamentals, fluid
power, mechanical systems, and computers. Emphasis is placed upon
the understanding and troubleshooting of electromechanical systems.
A comprehensive understanding of how these technical skills are linked
together to create automated systems is developed so that the
electromechanical technician will be able to install, troubleshoot, and
repair the complex machinery used in business and industry.
