Industrial Maintenance and Mechatronics 2nd Edition

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.
