Maintenance Mechanic - Major #806V - Certificate of Completion

This program map only provides one possible pathway for degree and/or certificate obtainment and is for reference only. Please schedule an appointment with a counselor to develop your individualized Student Education Plan.
It is also important to discuss your transfer options with a counselor because each university will require specific courses.

This program provides skills needed by maintenance mechanics for various industries in MIG welding, equipment repair, machining, lathe, hydraulics, pneumatics, industrial electrical systems, power transmission components and mechanical systems, use of power tools, troubleshooting and maintenance and/or repair of industrial system equipment. A Certificate of Completion will be awarded for successful completion of all CTC Maintenance Mechanic courses (MM-370, MM-371 and MM-372) with a minimum "C" grade. All courses must be completed in one continuous flow with set order. There will be no entering and exiting the program to accommodate schedules. If a course is not completed, with a passing score, the entire series of courses must be repeated.

1. Demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of industrial electricity fundamentals, motors, circuit types, variable frequency drives, schematics, symbols, electrical test instruments, vocabulary and troubleshooting for non-electrical workers and/or technicians as needed by maintenance mechanics.

2. Demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical drive fundamentals, power transmission components and systems, schematics, pumps, actuators, valves, pipes and fittings, oils and lubrication.

3. Demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of Mig welding processes, various equipment maintenance and/or repairs, common hand tools, threads and fasteners, parts and operation of engine lathes, milling machines, drill presses and precision measuring tools.

MM 370
Machine Shop and Equipment Repair for Maintenance Mechanics
The focus of this course will be manual machining techniques for equipment repair as needed for maintenance mechanics. Precision measurement procedures, hand tool usage, engine lathe operations, drilling, and milling procedures will also be introduced during your time in the course. This course will allow you to work in our lab using production equipment just as though you were on the job.

Course Details:

          MM 371
          Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and Mechanical Drive Fundamentals for Maintenance Mechanics
          This focus of this courses will introduce maintenance mechanics to hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical drive system equipment and principles used in many of the industrial, agricultural and food processing plants in the central valley. Equipment you will be introduced to, work on, and troubleshoot will be hydraulic and pneumatic pumps, actuators, directional control valves, pressure and flow control valves, belts, chains, gear boxes and bearings. You will learn to read and use schematics and system drawings to troubleshoot operating system fundamentals.

          Course Details:

                  MM 372
                  Electrical Fundamentals for Maintenance Mechanics
                  The focus of this course is the introduction of electrical principals for non-electrical workers and/or electrical technicians, as needed by maintenance mechanics. The content will be preventative maintenance measures in industrial settings, basic industrial electrical principles, AC/DC low voltage industrial control circuits, AC/DC motor construction and replacement scenarios used throughout production plants, manual motor starters, relays, industrial control wiring configurations, schematic reading, and diagnostic instruments used to maintain and troubleshoot industrial production equipment.
