DIPLOMA:
Industrial Maintenance
Graduation Credits Required: 43

DESCRIPTION
Students learn skills in using hand and power tools, reading and interpreting blueprints and technical manuals, using precision instruments, and rigging and pipe fitting. Because students must work on many kinds of equipment, their studies include electricity, hydraulics, pneumatics, simple machines, various drive components, lubrication, and elements of mechanics such as force, motion, and friction.

SCHEDULING AND ENTRY OPTIONS
Day and evening classes are available, and a student may enter any term. For students who work swing shift, classes may be arranged around their work schedule. (It is recommended that swing shift students follow the evening schedule.) Full-time students usually complete requirements in one year, including Summer Term. An evening student should allow at least two years to earn a diploma. General Education course requirements can be completed at any time during the program. Courses can be completed in any order subject to the completion of course prerequisites.
