Industrial Maintenance (CRT.INDMT)

This program prepares the student for entry level into the field of industrial maintenance. Emphasis is placed on machining, hydraulics, pneumatics, industrial safety, electric motors, residential wiring and light commercial wiring, and variable frequency drives. Nationwide, the industry needs skilled maintenance technicians (based on the Dept of Labor statistics 2023). For a person with training in industrial maintenance finding work locally is not a problem.

Program requirements may change over time. Specific degree/graduation requirements are determined by a degree audit.
