……………... so much of everything. Here you get your HAVC, you get to work with PLCs, 2…………………. drives. You

get your 3…………………. into everything and if you are good at doing a little bit of everything, this is perfect.

« Well, I at first didn’t know how to even get into 4…………….. myself and then someone told me ‘just go up and make

an 5………………………. and talk to an advisor’ and he walked me through everything. I’m in my first year right now. »

« We work with PLCs, program logic controllers which is basically the 6………………….. of an entire machine. »

« In class, we’ve learned how to use several gauges, how to take different 7………………… between pressures, using

pressure gauges, manometers, micron meters, learning on different pressures and how they all work and hooking up to

furnaces and 8…………. ……………………….. systems.”

“We also go to industrial maintenance, 9..…………..……..…. and see kind of things would go into, which is simple

enough as 10.………….…………….. maintenance.”

“It’s something different everyday. You aren’t going to sit in the same desk, looking at the same 11…………………. doing

the same thing everyday.”

“Our students like the program because it 12.…………….….., it’s heavily lab-based. We try to minimize lecture. The

students will learn about all the 13.………………………... that comprise a machine. All the way from the basic relays, to

wiring 14……………………….. to the more advanced controls, contractors and motor starters, all the way to the most

advanced which would be the industrial drives of the programmable controllers. So they basically learn the entire list of

components that 15……………………….. a machine. It’s a difficult field to train for. You need to train the students for all

the basic components, but the machines that they gonna see in 16…………………. vary greatly….”

“Pretty much in this field, we have a lot of opportunity and there’s 17……………………....”

“The ultimate goal after graduation is to find myself in a 18……………………….. that will appreciate the idea of letting me

get my hands on everything, fix everything...”

“The job market for industrial maintenance is absolutely 19………………………….. right now. We literally have hundreds

of openings every year for the students of our three programs. The industrial 20………………………. and the HVAC

students.”

“With a little bit of 21.……….………………., the students can expect to make between 20 and 30 dollars an hour typically.

It’s a 22.………….…..……….. you can support a family with and it’s not uncommon for maintenance 23…………….

……………. to make 60 to 80 thousand a year with a little bit of overtime which is typical with the position.”

“Industrial maintenance would be great for other students because it lets you touch everything but also you get actual
24
……………………………... that you would have to get on the fly at a job or a company. Being here with the instructors

and the 25 …………………….. that we have is so much better than having to learn in a dirty factory or on the fly when

you don’t know the answer to something and you don’t have time to find it.”

“I like learning hands-on, learning new things all the time and technology. That’s something you have to keep up with.”
