| The Industrial Maintenance program provides
students with a thorough understanding of the theory and operation
of industrial plant and manufacturing systems. Students gain
the skills necessary to become technicians and to advance in the
field of machine and equipment troubleshooting and repair.
Instruction consists of both classroom and practical application
work involving machine shop, electricity, mechanical power
transmission, hydraulics, pneumatics and programmable logic
controllers.
Industry is in need of individuals who are capable of
performing a variety of plant maintenance responsibilities.
Technical achievements have created new skill demands as methods
and equipment have increased the potential of industry to
manufacture products and deliver services more efficiently. Industrial
maintenance work is characterized by variety because each

knowledge to diagnose and repair.
Industrial Maintenance technicians install, diagnose and repair
industrial equipment including motors, motor controls,
programmable logic controllers, electrical, pneumatic and
hydraulic devices.
The mission of the course is to provide the student with the
training for entry into the industrial maintenance field at
various levels. Instruction consists of both classroom and
practical application work involving machine shop, electricity,
mechanical power transmission, hydraulics, pneumatics and
programmable logic controllers. Related mathematics,
