This course includes basic mechanics, lubrication, drive components, and bearings, as related to industrial applications. PREREQUISITE: Concurrent enrollment in or completion of INM 1206 Introduction to Industrial Maintenance Tech.

Students are introduced to the technical aspects of industrial production equipment. This course focuses on awareness of how the various parts of an automated machine operate to provide basic repair and maintenance knowledge. Quality improvement, lean manufacturing, and preventative maintenance come into play with proven standards such as 5S and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Prerequisite: INM 1214 CPT Manufacturing Process.

Career exploration that provides an orientation to the field of Industrial Maintenance Technology. Employee qualifications and work-related characteristics, types of equipment, job duties, employment potential, career trends and safety operations will be explored.

Develops the necessary skills and understanding to read and interpret building blueprints, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and plumbing) diagrams, product and component diagrams as well as electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic schematics. Provides students the basic skills required for visualizing and interpreting industrial prints, geometric dimensioning and assembly drawings. Emphasizes the need for visual representation of an idea. Develop understanding and skills to sketch components and ideas in a print format to convey required information.

CPT Quality discusses quality tools and why they are necessary in a world class manufacturing facility. It overviews various tools that ensure quality such as; Geometric Design and Tolerancing, quality methods of production, various styles of measurements, and print reading skills. These topics are highly integrated with industrial and automated machines and the production processes they use.

Includes instruction in the history of machine automation, principles of robotics, design and operational testing, system maintenance and repair procedures, robot computer systems and control language, specific system types, applications to specific industrial tasks, and safety.

This course is based on the Occupational Safety & Health Training Course in General Industry Safety & Health and the Illinois Onsite Safety & Health Consultation Program. In this course the student will learn what the OSH Act is and why it became necessary in protecting the workforce in the United States, what the Federal Code of Regulations are and how to identify workplace hazards, and also how to work with industrial managers in eliminating these workplace hazards. Repeatable 3 times to upgrade current safety skill levels and qualifications requirement.

This course provides a broad-based approach to understanding what quality means in production and manufacturing environments. It introduces and reinforces principles such as, but not limited to; Lean manufacturing, Kaizen, Setup reduction, Lean Six Sigma, TPM, Poka-Yoke and 5S.

This course looks at production in advanced manufacturing environments by analyzing details around CNC operations and manual machine processes. This class examines the raw material through the production process and on to the quality analysis of a finished manufactured good.

This course includes basic hydraulics, hydraulic troubleshooting, pumps and piping system, pneumatics and pneumatic trouble shooting, as related to industry.

CPT Safety introduces students to the diverse manufacturing environment and current industry changes driving the world to industry 4.0. This course specifically focuses on safety, workplace behavior, and communication when working in industrial environments and what is expected of an employee that is working on the production floor.

This course includes basic electricity, batteries, AC and DC circuits, transformers, and electrical measuring instruments. PREREQUISITE: Concurrent enrollment in or completion of INM 1206 Introduction to Industrial Maintenance Tech.
