Career Technologies AAS – Manufacturing Technology Program
Code: AAS.IDT.MFG.TECH
The AAS.IDT.MFG.TECH program prepares graduates for entry-level positions in machining, grinding, welding, CNC (computer numerical control) programming/machining, industrial design, fixturing and quality assurance/control positions. Students will have a broad exposure to common manufacturing industry methods, procedures and safety.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Express and implement all safety rules and procedures across the full scope of machining, welding and fabrication disciplines.
- Recognize the theory and application of precision measurement and be able to apply these skills in a professional work environment.
- Read multi view drawings, specify materials and procedures, and construct machined parts to professional standards using manual and CNC machinery.
- Design, specify materials and construct fabricated mechanisms & structures using various measurements, machining, material-joining and fabrication techniques for application in a professional environment.
- Demonstrate comprehension of various problem solving techniques and demonstrate an ability to apply them to machining, measurement, CNC programming and fabrication disciplines.
