What is Industrial Maintenance Technology?
The skills of an industrial maintenance technician continue to change tremendously as new technologies are developed. More and more companies are looking for maintenance technicians that have an understanding of all the technical fields needed to diagnose and to correct those technical problems experienced in industry. The Industrial Maintenance Technology program teaches those vital skills that industry has told us they are looking for in maintenance personnel.
