Industrial Mechatronics Maintenance Technicians are responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing commercial and industrial machinery and systems in a commercial building or a manufacturing plant. Technicians ensure the proper operation of machinery and mechanical equipment by completing routine service and preventative maintenance requirements on all machines through testing, troubleshooting and problem-solving.
Students study the basic operations common to production equipment used in industry such as electricity, electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics, and mechanical power. Other skills include interpretation of working drawings, and a knowledge base of basic carpentry, plumbing, and safety in the workplace. Coursework is designed to prepare students for the National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certificate exams.
