Mechanical drives

171 hr · $2,565

Competency course in Mechanical drives for the Industrial Maintenance program.

Competency course in Mechanical drives for the Industrial Maintenance program. Instruction moves from demonstration to supervised practice to independent performance in the fabrication bay and machine floor, measured against the print, tolerances and shop standards. Students set up, produce and measure real work in Mechanical drives and keep a production log signed off by the instructor.

Why it matters. In Industrial Maintenance, mechanical drives is not a chapter to pass through but a skill an employer will pay for on day one; every credential exam in this program tests it directly or assumes it. The course runs in machine floor, against the print and its tolerances, with the lead machinist as the standard of judgment.

How the course runs. 12 blocks of about 14.3 hours: orientation and safety first, then the tools and the vocabulary, then the standard that governs the work. Guided practice becomes independent practice; measurement and inspection teach the student to judge their own work; the fault lab teaches what failure looks like before it happens on a job. A timed production run and the documentation block close the loop, and the course ends with the written exam and the observed skills demonstration.

What competent looks like. The student can explain mechanical drives, set up for it safely, perform it to the standard within time, spot and correct what is wrong, and write it up so that a stranger could verify the work.

PLC

170 hr · $2,550

Competency course in PLC for the Industrial Maintenance program. Instruction moves from demonstration to supervised practice to independent performance in the fabrication bay and machine floor, measured against the print, tolerances and shop standards. Students set up, produce and measure real work in PLC and keep a production log signed off by the instructor.

Course text

Competency course in PLC for the Industrial Maintenance program. Instruction moves from demonstration to supervised practice to independent performance in the fabrication bay and machine floor, measured against the print, tolerances and shop standards. Students set up, produce and measure real work in PLC and keep a production log signed off by the instructor.

Why it matters. In Industrial Maintenance, pLC is not a chapter to pass through but a skill an employer will pay for on day one; every credential exam in this program tests it directly or assumes it. The course runs in machine floor, against the print and its tolerances, with the lead machinist as the standard of judgment.

How the course runs. 12 blocks of about 14.2 hours: orientation and safety first, then the tools and the vocabulary, then the standard that governs the work. Guided practice becomes independent practice; measurement and inspection teach the student to judge their own work; the fault lab teaches what failure looks like before it happens on a job. A timed production run and the documentation block close the loop, and the course ends with the written exam and the observed skills demonstration.

What competent looks like. The student can explain pLC, set up for it safely, perform it to the standard within time, spot and correct what is wrong, and write it up so that a stranger could verify the work.
