The main campus has 19 classrooms including computer labs and a Learning Resource Center, a PSI/Computer Assisted Testing Service center (PSI/CATS), career services center, faculty and administrative offices and student break areas.
Included in this facility is 79,000 square feet for hands-on training activities. A hangar/shop area houses aircraft, turbines, generators, furnaces, rooftop units, chillers, conveyors, robotic arms, and other related industry specific equipment. Additional lab areas are specifically designed for non-destructive testing inspection, sheetmetal, painting, composites, confined space, and climb and rescue training.
Housed on the campus for use in the Aviation programs are numerous aircraft including a Piper PA-22, a Sabreliner twin- engine jet, a twin engine Cessna 421, a twin-engine Cessna 337, a Cessna 150, and an Enstrom Helicopter. Additionally, the school possesses a wide assortment of reciprocating and turbine-jet powerplants, generator and electrical distribution mock-ups, airframe and powerplant training mock-ups and ground equipment, including a Pratt & Whitney JT9D engine used on Boeing 747 aircraft.
In April 2015 MIAT entered into an agreement with Spirit Airlines to host a state-of-the-art, 14-student A320 Airbus Competency Based Training (“ACT”) Next Generation Aircraft computer-based training (CBT) maintenance simulation laboratory at the Canton campus. The equipment, which includes fully functional virtual aircraft and a virtual flight deck, allows trainees to practice all maintenance, testing, diagnostics, repair and operation procedures exactly as on actual, live aircraft. MIAT is the first FAA approved aviation maintenance school in the world to partner with an operator to host a CBT lab of this type. The lab has been used by Spirit Airlines to train all their technicians and has been incorporated into the current curriculum for MIAT students.
Energy and/or Wind Power students train on a variety of industry equipment which include a Westinghouse W251 turbine engine weighing 130,000 pounds, General Electric GE 1.5MW wind turbine, wind turbine blades, climb ladders, a dedicated climb and rescue structure, state certified operating boiler, and technical equipment found in powerplants. Courses in the energy program also include introduction to the use of welding equipment, proper use of industry standardized lifting and rigging equipment, precision measuring devices, confined space training and various sizes and types of engines found in power generation. Additionally, students are exposed to a wide range of general and industry[1]specific tools.
The Robotics and Automation programs have various control systems and/or simulators used in manufacturing including, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), PLC mock-ups, a variety of sensors and motor controls to mines, industrial robotic arms, industrial and networking control systems, 3-D printers, and an autonomous conveyor system.
The Welding program utilizes a variety of widely used welding equipment. The lab area has 40 welding stations and a grind room with six grinding stations. Students have use of multi-function welders, bevel torches, pipe bevel torches, bench grinders, band saws, cutting torches, and plasma cutters. The college also possesses a wide assortment of advanced electrical and mechanical equipment. The programs also incorporate hydraulic and pneumatic equipment that reinforce system principles and operation.
