MULTI-CRAFT TECHNOLOGY Associate of Applied (AAS) Science
The Multi-Craft Technology program prepares graduates for positions as technicians that install, service, repair, and maintain equipment in today’s modern industrial, commercial and/or manufacturing facilities. Students learn many aspects of maintenance activity that are required to be successful in several business sectors. Courses include preventive maintenance, system design, and troubleshooting concepts that integrate practical application and knowledge of electrical, electronic, hydraulic, and mechanical systems. Students learn technical skills in reading schematics, pneumatics/hydraulics, welding, fabrication, electricity, safety, and maintenance procedures. Educational experiences include extensive hands-on instruction in a laboratory/shop setting. This blend of theory and application helps the student to adapt to changing technology and work environments.
Graduates obtain employment in positions such as industrial maintenance technician, facility maintenance technician, electrician, maintenance supervisor, maintenance planner, or maintenance inspector. This multi-faceted program facilitates those interested in multi-craft positions; the trained technician realizes when a more highly qualified professional is required to resolve the maintenance situation.
