Industrial Plant Maintenance
Certificate Program
84 credits


Goal and Proposed Outcome:

The intent of this four-quarter Industrial Plant Maintenance certificate program is to prepare technicians to work in building and office complexes, food processing plants, and a wide variety of industrial and manufacturing plants where technicians are responsible for operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting heating and cooling equipment, motors and controls, and electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical systems. Any developmental coursework a student may be required to complete may increase the program length.

This program is an open entry program. Most students can enter at the beginning of each quarter. The only exception is spring quarter. To be successful in Programmable Logic Controllers the student should have a working knowledge of the fundamentals in industrial electricity.

The following program outline is a suggested sequence of courses for this area of study. Courses listed in the program outline may not be offered in the exact sequential order. It is the student's responsibility to work out their individual schedule with a counselor or advisor.
