Integrated Industrial Technology: Associate in Science

Description

The Integrated Industrial Technology program at Leeward CC was developed in order to provide students on O‘ahu with a foundation in electronic, electrical, mechanical, and automated control systems to meet the workforce needs of an emerging industrial technology industry.

The IIT Program provides students with a theoretical and practical understanding of mechatronic systems as well as develops practical skills and systems integration. Graduates will be able to program, operate, maintain, calibrate, and repair the equipment that makes up these systems.

The degree prepares students for occupations that involve the integration of electronic, electrical, mechanical, and communications systems. Typical occupations may include: automated programmable electromechanical systems technician, robotics and manufacturing systems technician, and process control systems integration technician.

All required IIT courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better in order to be applied to all degrees and certificates.

Learning Outcomes

• Apply the principles of mathematics, electronics, mechanical systems, and controls systems to program, maintain, calibrate, and repair advanced integrated systems in manufacturing and transportation.
• Use appropriate safety, health, and personal protection procedures applicable to an industrial working environment.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the structure and function of mechatronic systems and follow a logical sequence for isolating problems within an industrial process.
• Analyze process control system operations and select the appropriate sensing equipment for that operation.
• Analyze the operating difficulties of an automated system and perform the corrective actions needed.
• Utilize proper procedures for inspection, preventive maintenance, and corrective maintenance of integrated industrial systems.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the theory, construction, installation and operation of hydraulic and pneumatic systems in an automated controls environment.
• Demonstrate an understanding of mechanical drive systems, their function and the operation in an automated controls environment.
• Apply principles of process quality assurance to an automated control environment.
• Use CAD/CAM to create drawings of parts and assemblies to create prototypes using additive manufacturing.
