Industrial Technology

Introduction to careers in aerospace and related industries. Hands-on practice in basic electrical/electronic laboratory procedures including measurement, meters, use and maintenance of other tools and equipment. Emphasizes personal safety and maintaining a safe workplace.

Designed to introduce commonly used metal fabrication techniques. Including but not limited to: measuring instrumentation, metal preparation, welding, machines (drills, saws, grinders, mills and lathes) and metal bending devices. Emphasis placed on the safe use of tooling, pre-planning and fabrication of structurally sound projects.

Introduces the student to an intermediate level of fabrication techniques such as measurement instrumentation, metal preparation, welding, machines (drills, saws, grinders, mills and lathes), and metal benders. Emphasis is placed on the safe use of tooling, pre-planning, and fabrication of structurally sound projects.

Designed to introduce commonly used sheet metal fabrication techniques, including but not limited to: measuring, shearing, bending, lay-out, metal preparation, welding, machines (drills, saws, grinders, brakes, shears) and hand-held specialized sheet-metal tooling. Emphasis placed on the safe use of tooling, pre-planning, proper fitment and the fabrication of structurally sound projects.

An overview of the proper maintenance associated with industrial and commercial equipment. Both mechanical and electrical hands-on skills will be included. Students will study bearing and bearing failures, vibration analysis, thermal imaging, specific plant safety hazards and the monetary benefits of a well executed maintenance strategy.

Intended to provide authentic experiences in the world of work by applying knowledge and skills learned in the classroom to a working environment. Variable credit class.

Culmination of year-long certificate program including final project. Includes review for industry certification testing, guidance for compilation of simple portfolio for job-seeking purposes, and other job-seeking activities.

Provides a capstone experience for the digital design program, including practical application of the design and computer skills learned within the degree, portfolio development, and industry familiarity.
