Cert in Industrial Production Technologies/Technicians

Aimed at people who want to work as industrial technicians or electricians, this diploma gives students a broad base in the upkeep of manufacturing and plant equipment. It also serves working adults who need to refresh their skills or move into a new line of work. Instruction touches many parts of industrial maintenance. Students study electronics, industrial wiring, motors and controls, programmable logic controllers, instrumentation, fluid power, mechanical systems, pumps and piping, and the computers that tie these systems together. Because plants rely on machinery that combines electrical, mechanical and digital parts, the range of subjects reflects what technicians actually face on the job. Completing the program earns a diploma in Industrial Systems Technology, a credential that supports employment as a maintenance technician or industrial electrician.
