Maintenance
These are examples of training that can be customized to meet your training needs. We will meet with you to discuss your specific needs and develop the training to meet these needs. The course length will depend on your particular needs.
Basic Electricity - 30 hours
This is an introduction to electricity. Students will understand how electricity is produced, terminology, the difference between AC/DC, understand the basics of Ohm’s Law, and interpretation of electrical drawings. There will be hands on activities with meters and circuits.
Electrical Motor Control
Design and development of relay logic systems necessary for installing, operating and maintaining industrial relay motor control systems. Emphasis is on electrical and electronic techniques of signal acquisition and control. Topics may include: single phase control, three phase control, programmable controllers, overload prevention devices, starters, speed controls and automatic feedback control systems.
Fundamentals of AC/DC Theory
Practice applying electrical theories to
circuits and instrumentation. Theory will be related to reading technical
schematic drawing and application to machines, assemblies and electrical
applications working with actual schematic drawings. Reading
and developing schematics for industrial applications. Topics may include
Ohm’s law, series and parallel circuits, Kirchhoff’s Law, resistance,
inductance, capacitors, transformers, filters and power factor correction.
Introduction to Electric Troubleshooting - 24 hours
Students will have an overview of AC/DC circuits, test instruments, transformers, power supplies, reading electric schematics, operation of motor starters, control relays, sensors, and overload protection devices.
Hydraulics and Pneumatics
Apply the principles and applications of hydraulics and pneumatics as they apply to power and control of industrial equipment. Topics may include: basic mechanical tools, hydraulic and pneumatic principles, blue print reading, mechanical troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.
Mechanical Drives
Applications of bearings and mechanical transmission in industry with emphasis on the importance of maintenance. Topics may include: introduction to bearings, bearings and shafts, plain journal bearings, antifriction bearings, ball and roller bearings, bearing seals and lubrication.
Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers
Course Description: This course is designed to emplain and apply the basic concepts of programmable logic controls. Tompics may include an overview of PLCs, input/output modules, number systems and codes, memory structure, programming basics, timer instructions, counter instructions, and identifying PLC programming languages.
Advanced Programmable Logic Controllers
Advanced PLC training will cover the following topics: communicating with PLCs and going online, data moves, accessing online help for RSLogiz500, monitoring the SLC data tables, using the RSLogix500 ladder and database search features, math functions for scaling analog input and output signals, trouble shooting techniques using Find All, Custom data Monitor, and Advanced Diagnostics Search features, overview of subroutines, and overview of panel view screen I/O display objects.
Maintenance Technician Program @ EIT
Diploma Program -- 50 Credits -- 1200 class hours
Do you love fixing things? Do you have mechanical aptitude and manual dexterity? Employers are offering excellent opportunities to technically skilled employees – someone like you – who can be responsible for maintaining all types of building systems.
You’ll gain the expertise that is used in making sure buildings – all types of buildings -- are properly maintained. Computerized controls may do a lot of the work in maintaining proper temperature, humidity, light, security, access and general monitoring of the functioning building. But, you’ll be needed for maintenance analysis and diagnosis, troubleshooting electrical and plumbing applications, hydraulics, pneumatics, industrial air conditioning, and building systems. Plus you’ll learn the OSHA and National Electric Codes, and train for your refrigeration certification. So to the question – “Where could EIT graduates work?” The answer – “Anywhere there are buildings.”
Evening classes may be
available.
