Industrial Mechanics Concentration

Location(s): Clarkston

This technical degree prepares the student to enter into a cooperative training experience in an energy related field. Often these training experiences result in long-term employment with the training entity. This degree is 
also designed to be a pre-apprenticeship preparation for an electrical career. Graduates of the Industrial Mechanics concentration will enter the workforce with the knowledge and skills to: Maintain and repair equipment and industrial machinery, such as: conveying systems, production machinery and packaging equipment; Control and operate plant equipment, such as: turbines, pumps, valves, gates, fans, and controllers; Read blueprints and technical diagrams; Identify electrical problems using a variety of testing devices; Repair or replace wiring, equipment, and instruments safely to NEC standards using hand and power tools.
