The Industrial Automation Maintenance Program prepares students to meet the technology needs facing Utah's manufacturing and service industries. Companies need skilled technical workers who have a broad background in mechanics, electricity, fluid power, and electronics. Computers and automation are increasingly used in every facet of the manufacturing process.
Students begin the program by studying industrial controls and then progress quickly into mechanical and fluid power systems. After the basic core courses are completed, students can choose elective options in advanced electronics, refrigeration, welding, machining, electro-mechanical, and/or industrial programming.
Enrollment for this program is year round.
