MFG* 159 Industrial Maintenance


Credits: 3

The industrial maintenance course is designed to give the student an overview of the mechanical nature of industry. Even though electronic devices have made great inroads in industry, the mechanical nature of production remains nearly unchanged over the years. The expression the “wheels of industry” remains as true today as it did yesterday. This course will provide the skills necessary to install and to maintain the mechanical parts and machines that provide the ability of manufacturers to produce our manufactured products e.g., automobiles, appliances, etc.

The course covers the following areas: safety, tools, fasteners, industrial print reading, belts and sheaves, chains and sprockets, gears and gearboxes, bearings, shafts, lubrication, seals and packings, pumps and compressors, fluid power, piping systems, and preventative maintenance.
Prerequisite: Completion of MAT 085  or higher with a C or better, or Accuplacer Arithmetic score of 230 or better.
