IND 185 - Predictive & Preventative Maintenance


Last Date of Approval: Fall 2019

2 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 15
Total Lab Hours: 30
Course Description:
This course will involve skill development in advanced mechanical maintenance procedures. The student will design, construct, and maintain industrial energy transfer systems. Techniques in preventive and predictive maintenance operations, utilizing the applications of laser alignment, thermography, vibration analysis, ultrasonic testing, and other functions will be covered. Students in this course will gain literacy in tribology which is a skill that is beneficial in many technical careers in maintenance. This course will also help students make life decisions understanding cause and effect.
