Industrial Maintenance, Certificate


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

The Industrial Maintenance Technician not only troubleshoots and repairs advanced industrial equipment, but is responsible for the layout and installation. This individual will be versed in electrical, hydraulics, pneumatics, pipefitting, welding, machine repair and installation as well as motor control systems and PLC control systems.

Coursework (100 level or higher) completed in this certificate directly applies toward the associate degree in maintenance technician/mechatronics.

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. Assess basic electrical theory and use of electrical components.
  2. Identify PLC control systems through lectures, readings, and lab exercises.
  3. Construct a fluid power system.
  4. Apply knowledge of installing/layout of machinery/industrial components safely.
  5. Assess proper rigging techniques.
  6. Demonstrate proficiency in welding techniques.
