Program Code: CC.INDMAINTECH
Industrial Maintenance Technology (IMT) is a program that prepares students to succeed as maintenance technicians in industry. IMT graduates perform mechanical and electrical maintenance of manufacturing equipment such as machine tools, automated process equipment and buildings systems to keep production operational. Maintenance technicians study subjects from a wide variety of technical disciplines ranging from welding to industrial electronics to robotics. This is a high-wage, high-demand field that typically attracts talented people who are excellent problem solvers and enjoy challenging work.
