What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Preventive maintenance schedules for a range of production machinery — execute independently, adjusting task sequencing to minimize downtime on a busy plant floor.
  • Malfunctioning mechanical components such as gears, bearings, and shafts — diagnose cause of failure and replace with appropriate parts with minimal oversight.
  • Hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems on industrial equipment — inspect, clean, and adjust during routine servicing cycles in a processing facility.
  • Disassembly and reassembly of moderately complex machinery — perform in correct sequence, verifying tolerances and clearances against manufacturer service manuals.
  • Operational tests on repaired machinery — conduct and interpret results to confirm repair adequacy before releasing equipment back to production.
  • Defective parts and worn components — examine systematically using near-vision inspection and precision measuring instruments to determine serviceability.
  • Maintenance and repair records — document completely and accurately in a computerized maintenance management or inventory management system after each job.
  • Troubleshooting logic for recurring mechanical faults — apply structured diagnostic methods to identify root causes in familiar equipment types within the facility.
  • Replacement part requirements — assess and communicate clearly to supervisors or parts staff using inventory management software to avoid production delays.
  • Time and task priorities across multiple concurrent work orders — manage independently to meet production schedules in a high-demand industrial environment.
