"Industrial operations need highly skilled personnel to build and maintain equipment and systems that are controlled by electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical devices. The industrial technology curriculum is designed to prepare students to build equipment, install machinery and maintain or repair electrical wiring and fixtures, hydraulic and pneumatic devices, programmable logic controlled systems, and heating and air conditioning systems found in institutional, industrial, and commercial settings. This curriculum integrates training from a variety of disciplines: electrical, mechanical, hydraulics and pneumatics, welding, drafting and design, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. These technical courses are supported by a solid core of general education courses that will aid students in developing important practical business application skills. This broad-based interdisciplinary training prepares
students to be competent industrial technicians who are adaptable to multiple industrial environments. Modern industry refers to these individuals as multi-craft technicians.
