OVERVIEW

The Industrial Technology Maintenance Technical Certificate Degree Prelearner program prepares students for work as electricians in industry. The program course content reflects the specific skills set unique to the technologies employed to produce and process steel.

Attributes and abilities looked for in a Maintenance Technician Electrical PreLearner will include problem-solving, interpersonal skills, and sound judgment.

Basic electrical repair and installation skills are supplemented by exposure to the principles and applications of electrical control systems, electronics, electrical power distribution, blueprint reading, Allen-Bradley programmable controllers and the National Electrical Code. Safety issues are covered and safe work practices are consistently stressed and modeled by the teaching staff.

Certificate requirements can be satisfied in several ways: Credits earned in traditional classes conducted at Ivy Tech campuses. Equivalent college-level courses completed at accredited educational institutions. Previously acquired skills can be demonstrated and evaluated for proficiency and subsequent granting of technical credits.
