Full course description
This course is to develop and verify the skills necessary to fulfill the role of Maintenance Technician 1. The course includes the following modules:
Tools for Tapping
Tooling for tapping introduces tapping tools used for metal cutting. Focuses on tapping terminology, types and properties, and applications.
Blueprint Reading
Blueprint reading introduces reading and interpreting blueprints with a focus on reviewing common elements, the alphabet of lines, and the differences between types of drawings. Also provides dimension definitions for height, width, and depth, and reviews dimension and geometric symbols and datums. Enhances the learner's math and geometry knowledge through practical application.
General Dimensioning and Tolerance
General dimensioning and tolerances provides the learner with an understanding of fundamental dimensioning rules, units and types of dimensioning, dimensioning features, and tolerancing methods. The learner studies the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard for uniform dimensions and tolerances, common symbols used for dimensioning, and tolerance practices for part features.
Basic Hydraulics
Basic hydraulics introduces hydraulic power use and application, allowing learners to develop skills and knowledge needed to apply hydraulics in modern industry. It takes learners through key topics and skills in hydraulic power & safety, hydraulic circuits, hydraulic schematics, the principles of hydraulic pressure and flow, and hydraulic speed control circuits. It covers pumps, fluid friction, how to connect hydraulic circuits, hydraulic cylinders and valves (including needle valves), and a wide array of hydraulic applications.
Basic Hydraulic Troubleshooting
This course will cover major topics like troubleshooting hydraulic systems, pumps, actuators, and valves, including directional control valves. Specifically, learners will study objectives such as: types of in-circuit component tests; symptoms and causes of directional control valve failure; inspecting and troubleshooting a pilot-operated check valve; and troubleshooting a pressure change problem in a multiple pressure circuit.
Basic Pneumatics
Basic pneumatics prepares learners to work intelligently in industry with pneumatic applications. It introduces pneumatic power and takes learners through key topics and skills in pneumatic power and safety, pneumatic circuits, pneumatic schematics, the principles of pneumatic pressure and flow, and pneumatic speed control circuits. It covers pressure regulation, air filtration, how to connect pneumatic circuits, pneumatic cylinders, valves, and actuators, a wide array of pneumatic applications, pressure and cylinder force, pneumatic leverage, pressure and volume, and air flow resistance.
Electrical Wiring Systems
This course provides a comprehensive lesson on the function, operation, installation, and construction of electrical wiring and wiring components. More specifically, it covers areas like electrical control system wiring, pneumatic control circuit wiring, conductors, disconnects, and overcurrent protection.
