IMA 3030 - Hydraulics Controls and Devices

Clock Hours: 154

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Prerequisites: IMA 3020, Fluid Power Basics

Course Description:
Provides instruction devices used and control of devices in hydraulic systems. Students use software test and build hydraulic circuits before installing on trainers. Students learn to install and troubleshoot hydraulic circuits. Instruction is provided through demonstrations, videos, hands on, software and lectures.
