419-116Basic Hydraulics2Instructor Approval | Program student; 462-119 or concurrentThis course exposes the student to the theories and basic components of hydraulics. Basic component construction and operation is explored. The theory of function is supplemented by hands on disassembly and assembly of actual industrial components. The course is presented in the individual study mode to allow the students flexibility in scheduling their time.

419-117Basic Pneumatics2Instructor Approval | Program student; 462-119 or concurrentThis course exposes the student to the theories and basic components of pneumatics. Basic component construction and operation is explored. The theory of function is supplemented by hands on disassembly and assembly of actual industrial components. The course is presented in the individual study mode to allow the students flexibility in scheduling their time.

462-111Mechanical Concepts2Instructor Approval | Program student; 462-119 or concurrentThis course is designed to give the student a basic understanding of the mechanical concepts that are found on industrial equipment. Since all industrial machinery is equipped with some type of mechanical drive, a firm understanding of these drives is necessary for the industrial mechanic. Cleanliness and safe working habits will also be emphasized.

462-119Industrial Mechanical Skills2Instructor Approval | Program studentIn this course the student will develop precision measurement and applied math skills to meet the demand of today's industry. Application based math topics will address fractions, decimals, fraction conversion to decimals and metric equivalents, geometry and trig formulas, as well as algebraic problem solving. The student will use gauges; micrometers dial calipers and other measurement devices.

625-180Manufacturing Skills Standards2In the MSSC Safety course students will be exposed to manufacturing concepts and actions that can produce higher quality products, increase productivity, achieve greater customer satisfaction, and assure a safe and healthy work environment. This course is broken down with definitions, examples, and exercises. Practical cases/examples are investigated and discussed. Capitalizing on a blended learning approach, students experience lectures, self-pace studies, on-line labs, and individual and group activities.
