Industrial Maintenance and Mechatronics
is a comprehensive text that provides curriculum support for Industrial
Technology Maintenance (ITM) programs. The text consists of 40 chapters
grouped into sections that correspond to principal industrial
technology disciplines, with a special focus on electrical systems and
electronic controls. With an exclusive endorsement from NIMS, this
learning program is designed to work hand-in-glove with the NIMS Smart
Duties and Standards for Industrial Technology Maintenance, providing
students with the necessary knowledge and skills for entry-level
positions in industrial maintenance and helping them prepare for NIMS
credentialing. Instructors and students will appreciate the convenience
and value of a comprehensive text that can be used in multiple courses
and programs.
This organized, student-friendly text
imparts need-to-know information in an accessible style. While providing
the background theory instructors look for, the authors also explain
why ITM students need to know it. They have drawn on a deep reservoir of
industry and teaching experience to bring the material to life with
Tech Tips and other features that support hands-on learning. As a member
of the NIMS Technical Working Group that prepared the Industrial
Technology Maintenance Duties and Standards, Mr. Shearer gained a deep
understanding of the competencies desired by NIMS industry partners. Mr.
Ballee is a member of the NIMS Advisory Council and he has also served
on MSSC's National Expert Panel.
