The industrial and mechanical sectors run on machinery. Step up to the challenge and keep operations up and running as an industrial mechanical technician with Moraine Park Technical College’s hands-on Industrial Mechanical Technician associate degree.
If you like fixing things and the challenge you’ll face when no two days are the same, a career as an industrial mechanical technician may be right for you!
MPTC’s Industrial Mechanical Technician degree gives students hands-on experience operating, repairing and maintaining machinery and equipment in an industrial environment.
Upon graduation, students can seek entry-level employment in the industrial mechanical maintenance field. For individuals already in the field, elective course-work can be taken to advance your skill-set
Graduates can also enter a skilled trade or pursue a leadership role in a skilled trade.
Our industrial mechanical technician training includes both classroom and lab experiences in metal fabrication, machining, materials science, refrigeration, hydraulics, lubrication, pipefitting, welding, graphics and electrical controls. Students also learn concepts of component selection, power transmission application, repair and replacement of failed components, alignment, failure analysis, and preventative and predictive maintenance techniques.
