The exceptions are and [[permalink=250|tooltip:{'title':1}]]%prefix% %code%[[/permalink]], which are offered in the fall and summer semesters.
- Industries such as large-scale manufacturing including wood products, energy generation, petroleum refining, chemical processing, automotive, aviation/aerospace, rail, ship, and trucking all employ mechanical systems that require maintenance as well as repair. This program provides a student with the necessary instruction to meet the wide range of challenges encountered in these industries by maintenance personnel.
- Upon completion of Tiers I and II, a student has met the requirements for the Certificate of Applied Science (CAS), but may not receive both a Tier II Certificate of Technical Studies (CTS) and the CAS. Similarly, upon completion of Tiers I, II, III, and IV, a student has met the requirements for the AAS degree, but may not receive both the Tier IV CTS and the AAS degree.
Opportunities after Graduation
- Industrial maintenance is projected to grow 15-30% over the next 10 years in Montana.
