Industrial Maintenance Technology Pathway
Industrial Maintenance Technology Pathway
Maintenance machinists set up and operate a variety of machine tools and fit and assemble parts to fabricate or repair machine tools and maintain industrial machines, applying knowledge of mechanics, shop mathematics, metal properties, layout, and machining procedures. They observe, listen to, and diagnose operating machinery or equipment to correct machine malfunction and determine need for adjustment or repair.
Example Careers: Service Manager, Machine Operator, Machinist Technician, Machinist, Maintenance Machinist, CNC Machine Operator, CNC Programmer, Mechanical Engineer, Industrial Engineer, etc.
Industrial Maintenance Technology students will develop communication and leadership skills through the career and technical student organization, SkillsUSA.
