Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs by Type

The Industrial Automation Maintenance program focuses on the maintenance of electrical, mechanical and fluid power equipment. Students of this program will develop their skills in maintenance and troubleshooting of electrical, pneumatic, mechanical, programmable logic controllers, variable frequency drives and more.

Career Outlook

Many manufacturing companies across the country no longer employ segregated trades (electrician, millwright, machinist, etc.) Instead, they are moving to a multi-craft classification that will perform electrical, mechanics, machining, welding, etc. Therefore, positions for general maintenance and industrial maintenance are currently in great demand.

Program Learning Outcomes

Learners will be able to:

  1. Identify industrial symbols in schematics.
  2. Construct a fluid power system.
  3. Install, maintain and troubleshoot Programmable Logic Controller systems.
  4. Troubleshoot servo and robotic systems.
  5. Apply knowledge of installing/layout of machinery/industrial components safely.
  6. Demonstrate proficiency in welding techniques.
