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.

• Includes multichapter sections on Maintenance Operations, Basic Mechanical Systems, Fluid Power, Electrical Systems, Electronic Control Systems, Process Control, and Maintenance Piping, allowing the text to be used in multiple courses and programs
• Features three dedicated chapters on troubleshooting, frequent Tech Tips, and additional troubleshooting content throughout the text to prepare students for the challenges they will encounter on the job
• Emphasizes the development of safe working practices with extensive safety coverage in the text and numerous Safety Notes throughout the chapters
