The reason I’ve been most successful in the Industrial Maintenance Technician program is that I have not let the fact that I am a woman limit my possibilities. Instead, I maximize my abilities and talents, take on leadership roles, implement listening, and thinking in a field one may feel is dominated by men. I have proven to myself, my instructors, and classmates what women are capable of.

FIND YOUR WINGS
Industrial Maintenance Technology is a two-year program that provides the student with the technical knowledge and skills necessary for success in the field of manufacturing maintenance. The focus is on recognized areas of expertise needed for maintaining equipment in the manufacturing setting.
The students receive instruction and training in safety, fluid power, electricity, controls systems, mechanical systems, troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, programmable logic controllers, welding and precision machining.
In addition, students will develop problem-solving skills in industrial electrical procedures, programmable logic, and process control. Upon completion of the program, students receive advanced NCCER, OSHA, and forklift certifications.
Progression: To meet graduation requirements for this program, students must successfully complete the specified courses listed below with a “C” average (GPA of 2.00) or better. A grade of “C” or higher is required in each IMM course to progress in the program.
Minimum admission requirements (in addition to general admission requirements) must include one of the following:
- Attain a 16 composite score on the ACT;
- Score a 251 or higher on the ACCUPLACER NG Reading Section and a 230 or higher on the Accuplacer NG Algebra Section
- Earn a “C” or above in Math for Occupational Education (CTE 1113);
- Complete 15 semester hours with a “C” average or above from an accredited college. Developmental coursework does not satisfy this requirement.
Students in the Industrial Maintenance Technician Program must attend MCC full-time (15 or more semester credit hours).
