A50240
Official Program Description registered with the NC Community College System:
The Industrial Systems Technology curriculum is designed to prepare or upgrade individuals to safely service, maintain, repair, or install equipment. Instruction includes theory and skill training needed for inspecting, testing, troubleshooting, and diagnosing industrial systems.
Students will learn multi-craft technical skills in print reading, mechanical systems maintenance, electricity, hydraulics/pneumatics, welding, machining or fabrication, and includes various diagnostic and repair procedures. Practical application in these industrial systems will be emphasized and additional advanced course work may be offered.
Upon completion of this curriculum, graduates should be able to individually, or with a team, safely install, inspect, diagnose, repair, and maintain industrial process and support equipment. Students will also be encouraged to develop their skills as life-long learners.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Industrial Systems Technology program, a graduate should be able to:
- Design and install industrial control systems.
- Demonstrate basic welding skills.
- Use a mechanical print to machine an industrial part.
- Install industrial fluid systems based on schematic diagrams.
Degree Awarded
The Associate in Applied Science Degree-Industrial Systems Technology is awarded by the College upon completion of this program.
