Industrial Systems Technology

Curriculum Description

The Industrial Systems Technology curriculum is designed to prepare or upgrade individuals to safely service, maintain, repair, or install equipment. Instruction includes theory and skill training needed for inspecting, testing, troubleshooting, and diagnosing industrial systems. Students will learn multi-craft technical skills in print reading, mechanical systems maintenance, electricity, hydraulics/pneumatics, welding, machining or fabrication, and includes various diagnostic and repair procedures. Practical application in these industrial systems will be emphasized and additional advanced course work may be offered. Upon completion of this curriculum, graduates should be able to individually, or with a team, safely install, inspect, diagnose, repair, and maintain industrial process and support equipment. Students will also be encouraged to develop their skills as life-long learners.

Graduates will be able to:

• Understand and mathematically demonstrate basic engineering-related laws and theories (e.g. Pascal’s Law, Equilibrium).
• Demonstrate competency with test instruments (e.g. CMM, Calipers and Micrometers).
• Understand and can demonstrate basic maintenance practices.
• Demonstrate knowledge of workplace safety and ethics.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the disciplines specific and critical for the safe and reasonable practice of welding
