Center for Business & Industry offers 4-day mechanical systems troubleshooting course

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 24, 2015) – Employers today need multi-skilled workers to operate, maintain and troubleshoot equipment on the plant floor. The Center for Business & Industry (CBI) at Daytona State College is responding to this need with a four-day mechanical systems troubleshooting course, starting Tuesday, March 31.

Covering the principles and applications of the most commonly found mechanical drive components used in machinery and equipment, the course is very hands-on with limited seating. Topics include simple mechanical power transmission devices such as shafts, belts, chains, cams and gears with an emphasis on application and troubleshooting. An understanding of simple mechanical components provides the background necessary to explore more complex systems of components used on all types of equipment.

Aimed at entry level technicians who may be involved in the operation, assembly, test, startup, troubleshooting, maintenance, repair or upgrade of basic machinery modules, cost for this course is $1,520. At the end of the program students will take the PMMI Mechanical Level 1 Certificate test.

Classes will be held daily, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday, March 31, through Friday, April 3, at DSC’s Advanced Technology College, 1770 Technology Blvd., Daytona Beach.
