The Industrial Maintenance, Maintenance Mechanic (IM) program is a program of study that employs the principle of technology integration within sought after certifications: Multi-skilled Technician, Engineering Controls, Skilled Operator, Industrial Electrician and Industrial Mechanic certifications. Within each certification area, a systems approach is employed that is in line with the expectations of current day employers.

The IM student will acquire an entry level of mechanical and electrical skill sets that can provide them with opportunities to work in today’s technically advanced industrial settings (both in manufacturing and value-added 2nd tier support roles). These skill sets include robotics and PLC programming, drive configuration, advanced electric motor control, hydraulics/pneumatics, and mechanical drive systems used in modern industry. The curriculum addresses mechanical and electrical theory and its application in today’s industrial environment. Critical thinking objectives are also incorporated that will expose the student to problem solving strategies and techniques for troubleshooting the latest generation of high tech equipment.
