PURPOSE: To train graduates to perform the challenging tasks associated with supporting industrial production operations. Basic principles of mechanical component, such as gears, bearings, belts and chains, are presented in a hands-on, learn by doing environment. Key elements of reliability, including laser alignment, are practiced in a laboratory setting with actual industrial components. Advanced techniques of preventative and predictive maintenance give the graduate a head start on the needs of high tech production.
By the completion of this program, students will be expected to demonstrate an introductory level of competency in the following skills:
- Install mechanical components according to the manufacturer’s specifications, with regard to spacing alignment, tension, torque, and size.
- Troubleshoot malfunctions, failure, and misapplication of mechanical components.
- Install and troubleshoot assembly and timing of gearing and motion.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS: Students must meet JTCC admission requirements. Students may need to complete placement tests in English and mathematics. Visit www.jtcc.edu/placement for all course placement options. If students have deficiencies in English and/or mathematics, JTCC offers developmental and prerequisite courses to prepare students for the curriculum. New students should visit the Advising Center and returning students their faculty advisor for more information.
