Today's advanced manufacturing

Machines are important in our lives—directly or indirectly. Broken or inefficient machines slow the pace of manufacturing and, ultimately, profits. To remain competitive in today’s fast-paced industrial/manufacturing environment, equipment needs to be maintained to run at peak performance. If you like to troubleshoot problems, put theory to work hands-on, and have interests in math and mechanical processes, a career in industrial maintenance may be your key to success.
