The mission of the Industrial Machinery Maintenance Repair Program is to prepare

students for employment in the industrial maintenance field. The program

includes theory and skill training in welding, electricity, heating, air conditioning and

refrigeration, mechanical maintenance and machine tool technology. Students learn to

properly service, maintain, repair and/or install industrial equipment or equipment

parts for a wide range of industrial machinery. Problem-solving skills included in the

curriculum teach students how to perform basic diagnostic tests, check performance,

and test damaged machine parts to determine whether major repairs are necessary.

Using industry standard techniques, students learn to use a variety of tools to

perform repairs and preventive maintenance. Local business and industry provide coop

opportunities, which allow the student to apply learned skills to actual work experience. Safety and employability skills are integral parts of the program.

As more and more firms introduce costly automated production equipment

using computerized-maintenance, vibration analysis techniques, and self-diagnostic

systems, increasingly highly qualified mechanics will be needed to insure maintenance and consistent operation before trouble occurs.

Upon successful completion of the required units of instruction, students are

employable in public utilities, manufacturing industries, government agencies and any

other businesses that rely on machinery. Ample jobs are available.
