This two-year (full-time) program consists of a carefully planned sequence of courses designed to prepare students to work as industrial systems technicians in one or more of the following areas of concentration: Air Conditioning Automated Manufacturing Technology Drafting Technology Electronics Technology Machine Tool Technology Plastics Technology Industrial Electrical Technology Industrial Maintenance Technology.

THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM
This program is an eighteen-month sequence of courses that prepares students for employment as an Industrial Systems technician/electrician. The program provides learning opportunities that introduce, develop and reinforce academic and technical knowledge, skill, and attitudes required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. Additionally, the program provides opportunities to retrain or upgrade present knowledge and skill. The diploma program teaches skills in Industrial Systems Technology providing background skills in several areas of industrial maintenance including electronics, industrial wiring, motors, controls, PLCs, instrumentation, fluidpower, mechanical, pumps and piping, and computers. Graduates of the program receive an Industrial Systems technology diploma that qualifies them for employment as industrial electricians or industrial systems technicians or I and E technicians.

THE ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAM
This two-year (full-time) program consists of a carefully planned sequence of courses designed to prepare students to work as industrial systems technicians. The associates degree program builds upon the diploma program in Industrial Systems Technology, providing background skills in several areas of industrial maintenance and control systems. The program provides learning opportunities that introduce, develop and reinforce academic and technical knowledge, skill, and attitudes required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. Additionally, the program provides opportunities to retrain or upgrade present knowledge and skill. Graduates of the program receive an Industrial Systems Technology Associate of Applied Technology that qualifies them for employment as industrial electricians or industrial systems technicians with opportunities to move into management positions.
