The Advanced Manufacturing and Industrial Maintenance program equips students with a foundational understanding of modern manufacturing processes alongside the principles and practices critical to their design, operation, and maintenance. Through a hands-on approach, students will explore key areas such as safety protocols, precision measurement, layout design, machining techniques, and the inner workings of electrical circuits. The curriculum also covers advanced topics including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), mechanical systems, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, as well as automation and robotics.

Students will engage in a dynamic learning environment that combines classroom instruction, lab-based practice, and self-guided activities to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This comprehensive program prepares students to confidently enter the workforce or pursue further education in the fast-growing fields of manufacturing and industrial maintenance.
