Participants will take a workplace math primer for using tools, using formulas, make and read simple drawings, estimate weight and working qualities, calculate slopes, and do data analysis related to electrical properties in volts, ohms, current, capacitance, transformers, diodes, transistors, as well as temperature-pressure-speed-acceleration sensors. Students will utilize spreadsheets, perform analysis of various systems, and understand critical process data.
This course will teach the student about high-speed mechanical and electrical design related to manufacturing, assembly operation, and process control. This course will teach students about the theory of torque, force, speed, pressure, and temperature as it relates to part handling, metal forming, fluid processing, fabricating, inspection/testing, marking, packaging, and chemicals.
Students will be taught the original equipment design criteria and specifications for manufacturing machinery. Students will learn to read blueprints, understand cycle-time, design parameters, quality metrics, human interface, machine guards, rotating machine alignment requirements, preventative maintenance, input/output sensors, and control interfaces.

Students will acquire a working knowledge of PLC Programming to perform entry level work as a Manufacturing & Automation Technician such that they can secure employment in a manufacturing and/or automation company to maintain, repair, trouble-shoot, and install equipment in a product and/or service manufacturing plant operation.
Students will learn about more advanced alternating current, electrically actuated hydraulic and pneumatic actuators such as pistons, rotary motors, spool valves, pop-it valves, pressure valves, compressors, incandescent water treatment systems, strainers and other systems used in manufacturing operations. The actuators will then be used in various logical configurations within PLC systems. Students will learn how actuators function in manufacturing operations and/or manufacturing field operations with common digital field input devices include pushbuttons, limit switches, photo sensor and common digital output devices include relays, motor starters, and solenoid valves. This course will focus on using PLCs to trouble-shoot electrical wiring and/or PLC hardware problems and take corrective action to repair equipment.
In this course, students will learn how to interface flexible automation devices such as such as robotics and PLCs so that “handshaking” can occur through programs and using contacts, coils, cascading timers, delays, cascading timers, latches, single shot pulse, starting and stopping a process control, how to use PLC Instructions in your programs using binary and hex. Emphasis will be placed on mechatronics and trouble- shooting inter-relationships of PLC and robotic systems for maintainability.
Students will learn how to handle hand-tools to accomplish scheduled maintenance. Hand-tools such as wretches, air tools, pullers, machinist rulers, Allen keys, hammers, screw drivers, pliers, grips, breaker bars, saws, grinders, rotational shaft alignment, hand wrenches, lubrication equipment, and calibration equipment. The course is designed to teach theory and hands-on use of hand tools to maintain manufacturing equipment. MAT010
This course is designed to teach students about diagnosis theory, looking for faults, finding shorted components or wiring, open circuitry, sub-component failures to ancillary systems, PLC faults and component failures, intermittent Page 41 of 84
In this course, students will be introduced to statistical process control (SPC) and shall develop control charts, quality control histograms and understand how this plays a vital role in maintenance and repair of manufacturing machinery. Students will be taught about process variability, control limits, common-cause and special-cause variation, determining when a process is in control and out of statistical process control. This course will teach the student how to relate maintenance and mechatronics to process monitoring and correction. MAT010, MAT011, MAT012
Students will learn how to mark drawing layout utilizing AutoCAD software. Students will learn how to identify layers of AutoCAD drawings, drawing lines, trim a line, draw a circle, extend a line, drawing a rectangular polyline, working with a rotated background, creating a fillet, drawing a rectangle, pan and zoom, write text, and set dimensions. The emphasis in this course will be for students to communicate with engineers and other technicians in manufacturing. MAT010, MAT011, MAT012, MAT013
In this course, students will be taught how different control systems communicate with instrumentation. Students will set up, configure, and tune various real-world instrumentation and controls for speed, acceleration, and start/stop sequencing of training stations. Strong emphasis is placed on understanding industrial instrumentation in their manufacturing and their processes. MAT010, MAT011, MAT012, MAT013, MAT014
Students will be taught about packaging & seals, types of materials used in packaging, operations complete with motor controllers, conveyor belts, photo sensors, wiring diagrams, maintenance specifications, trouble-shooting problems for root cause and corrective actions with actuators, pistons, and rotary index boxes. MAT010, MAT011, MAT012, MAT013, MAT014, MAT015
This course is geared to 1) steam generation and 2) Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) operations and controls. Students will learn the process cycles of both steam and HVAC systems and their corresponding mechanical computerized control, motors, valves, relays, pumps, and other ancillary systems. The student will understand how preventative maintenance is accomplished through theory and hands-on practice. Page 42 of 84
This coursework will educate students on how to properly document maintenance work relative to their responsibilities and, when the need arises, diagnosis and repair as well as change orders for equipment. Emphasis will be placed on standard understanding of automated scheduling and documentation of maintenance requirements, and work orders. Students will learn how document control software systems work and how this streamlines the vital processes, saves valuable time, and keeps operations in compliance with FDA and ISO requirements. MAT010, MAT011, MAT012, MAT013, MAT014, MAT015, MAT016, MAT017, MAT018, MAT019, MAT020
Students will be taught the proper format to place skill-based content into their resumes. Resume writing will focus on content with abilities and strengths that students have and what employers seek. The skills section of the resume will reflect the soft and technical skills before and after the student graduated from PTTI. Each student will be taught how to undergo successful interviews and will participate in group as well as individual interview training sessions that simulate business communication and question/answer sessions. Students will complete skill and work-related questionnaires, interview with PTTI job developers, and finally develop resumes while corresponding PTT’s job developer and the staff. Resumes will be stored on PTTI’s secure web-portal for updates and future job opportunities as a continued service for the student. MAT010, MAT011, MAT012, MAT013, MAT014, MAT015, MAT016, MAT017, MAT018, MAT019, MAT020, MAT021, MAT022
Every student will go into an externship that is designed to provide a mix of additional manufacturing equipment maintenance, troubleshooting and repair experience. The externship is designed to help future professionals master the skills of a manufacturing and automation technician. Each student will complete manufacturing technician job assignments from routine maintenance to more complex assignments while working side-by-side with other manufacturing technicians or engineers during their training. During the externship, students will advance their maintenance skills, perform diagnoses and make repairs to various components and systems in which they were educated and trained. The purpose of the externships is to have students hired into the job after the externship term is completed. Finally, the student intern will complete a report and evaluate the externship for permanent employment with the externship company. In addition, the externship company will be required to complete an evaluation for the student that will help the student progress with their initial and continued employment. Page 44 of 84
