Ready for a career that combines hands-on work with modern technology? Priced at $7,995, Industrial Automation Maintenance equips learners with the practical skills necessary to maintain and troubleshoot today’s automated industrial systems, opening the door to stable, in-demand career opportunities in modern manufacturing and industrial facilities.

The Industrial Automation Maintenance program is designed for learners who want practical, in-demand skills that lead directly to employment in modern industrial settings. Whether you are changing careers, upskilling, or re-entering the workforce, this program offers hands-on training tailored to today’s manufacturing and automation needs.

Students build a strong foundation in applied math, mechanical systems, electrical fundamentals, and fluid power, before advancing to industrial automation technologies used in industry. Training encompasses motor controls, variable frequency drives, sensors, hydraulics, pneumatics, and process control systems, with a strong emphasis on programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and systematic troubleshooting techniques.

Instruction is practical and career-focused, emphasizing problem-solving, safety, and real-world maintenance scenarios. Graduates gain the confidence to diagnose equipment issues, support automated systems, and reduce downtime in fast-paced industrial environments. This program prepares students for stable, high-demand careers in an Industry 4.0 workforce, where skilled technicians are in high demand.

The program is offered in a flexible (Flex) format designed for adult learners balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Instruction blends guided, self-paced learning with scheduled on-campus labs with subject matter specialist nights, where students work hands-on with equipment alongside instructors and industry experts. These sessions provide focused support, skill demonstrations, and real-time troubleshooting in a lab environment.

Using a competency-based education model, students progress by demonstrating mastery of clearly defined skills rather than by seat time alone. This approach enables students to navigate efficiently through content they already know, while allocating additional time to new or challenging concepts, ensuring graduates emerge confident, job-ready, and prepared for real-world industrial maintenance and automation roles.
