Install, repair and maintain the machinery used in manufacturing and industry.
What is Industrial Maintenance Technology?
The Industrial Maintenance Technology program at Somerset Community College offers students a comprehensive, action-based technical education program. This program was designed to give the student the knowledge and skills needed to safely and efficiently perform the maintenance tasks that are necessary to maintain the machinery and associated equipment that are common to local industry.
An understanding of the requirements and opportunities in maintenance, good safety practices, pride in workmanship, and an understanding of the principles and accepted practices of the maintenance trade are covered in this program. Students are trained to hold positions in factories, automated manufacturing facilities, energy production plants, stamping facilities, hospitals, etc., where multi-skilled maintenance personnel are needed. Included are courses in industrial electricity, motor controls, programmable logic controllers, welding, general maintenance, fluid power, metal fabrication, and machine tool.
