• Entry into workforce in a diverse Manufacturing
environment.
• Transfer to a four-year college |
Manufacturing employees work in a broad range of professional and technical
positions. They may work as engineering technicians using computer programs to
design parts, equipment, or machinery. As process technicians they use
electronically controlled equipment and software in the manufacture of specific
products. As quality assurance technicians they hold responsibility for product
quality to monitor and control the manufacturing processes. Or they may
participate in or supervise a manufacturing team and be responsible for all
aspects of production from design to quality control.
The curriculum supports the skill standards defined by the National Coalition
for Advanced Manufacturing and the National Skills Standards Project for
Advanced High Performance Manufacturing. It will provide the student with the
classroom and hands-on experiences necessary to master competencies in:
- Communication and teamwork
- Blueprint reading
- Math and measurement
- Manufacturing fundamentals
- Workplace safety and health
- Business planning and operation
- Problem solving
- Computer use
- Quality assurance
- Related workplace and learning skills
Upon completion of this program, the graduate will be prepared to obtain
employment within manufacturing. In addition, the student will be prepared to
continue studies at the bachelor’s degree level in such disciplines as
Industrial Technology or Manufacturing Engineering. Students should speak with
an academic advisor to be sure that the courses selected satisfy the
requirements of the receiving institution.
A total of 66 credits is required for the associate degree.
