A strong domestic manufacturing base is vital to the United States economy, as manufactured goods are necessary for trade. The term manufacturing is very broad and includes the use of machine tools required to manufacture finished products. These products can range from an array of plastics to wood and metals. Manufacturers use sophisticated turning and milling machines, grinders, and computerized numerical control (CNC) machines to bring products from concept design to reality.

The Advanced Manufacturing with Robotics program prepares students for entry-level positions as CNC Operators or Set-up Technicians within a Modern Advanced Manufacturing facility. Students will learn about the fundamental skills needed for the operation and setup of complex manufacturing machines that utilize turning, milling and multi-axis machining technology. Students will be prepared to qualify for credentials from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) in the areas of Materials, Measurement and Safety, Job Planning, Bench work and Layout, CNC Milling (setup and programming), CNC Turning (setup and programming), CNC Operator - Turning, and CNC Operator – Milling.

The Advanced Manufacturing with Robotics Program introduces the student to the integration of machinery and robotic technology. Students will learn about the fundamental skills needed for the operation and setup of robots in automation, and will apply their skills in equipment operation, programming, diagnosing and troubleshooting, and machine setup by use of automation. By the end of this program, students will be competent in the application of essential skills necessary for automated manufacturing in a mass-production environment.

Students will be required to complete out-of-class assignments in each course.

This program is designed to provide the essential skills and knowledge for the installation, troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance of commercial and residential entertainment, security, monitoring, and telecommunications systems. Students learn to install cable support structures; laying out and preparing pathways for wiring and cables; installing, securing, testing, and termination of wiring and cables both copper and fiber optic; program digital components and access controls to perform their designated tasks; install and set up media management systems; and perform system commissioning and user training of audio, video, and data systems. The program also prepares students on the essential skills and knowledge needed for entry-level residential electrician work. Students will train on the installation, service and maintenance areas of the residential electrical industry. Upon completion of this program, graduates can meet the minimum requirements needed to be qualified as an entry-level technician in the residential and/or commercial telecommunications, fire alarm, intrusion detection, signaling, entertainment, audio/video/data, and energy management systems. Student can also qualify as entry-level residential electrician’s apprentice. NJ Electrical License - The State of NJ requires applicants for examination for a license as an electrical contractor shall present proof to the Board that the applicant has worked in the field of electrical contracting for a least five years immediately preceding the date of application. The applicant shall submit a certification by an employer establishing that the applicant has at least five years of practical hands on experience. Students will be required to complete out-of-class assignments in each course.

Our collective concerns about the future health of the environment are at the heart of today’s dynamic Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Technology industry, driving progressive changes through planning and implementation. The shift away from some of the more conventional HVAC systems still used in older residences and commercial buildings has been dramatic and continues to evolve. Newer systems focus on renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and creating comfortable indoor environments. One of the primary objectives of the HVAC curriculum is to introduce students to Green Technology concepts as they apply to HVAC systems. Students are prepared to confidently enter this vibrant field possessing fundamental skills required to service, troubleshoot, and repair commercial and residential indoor HVAC air management systems. Students also learn proper refrigerant recovery and recycling techniques, and are encouraged to complete Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification testing. Upon completion of this program, graduates can expect to meet the essential entry level skills and knowledge required of an HVAC technician. With additional experience graduates may pursue opportunities allowing them to work independently, without direct supervision, supervise crews or teams of other technicians, or start their own business. Graduates may also choose to specialize in one or more specific areas of the HVAC market including refrigeration, air conditioning, and heating. Students will be required to complete out-of-class assignments in each course.

for entry level welder positions as structural welders. Students develop key fundamental skills during the initial courses and learn to apply these skills using different and more complex welding procedures. The welding procedures include Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG), Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Gas Welding (GTAW/TIG). Using each of these procedures, students learn to weld plate in various positions including horizontal, vertical, and overhead. Students also learn various techniques for cutting and preparing metal for welding procedures.

Upon successful completion of all components of this program, the graduate should possess the working knowledge and skills to qualify as a structural welder using any one of three standard welding processes in construction, fabrication, or plant maintenance work settings. Students should be able to successfully complete pre-qualification tests for any construction structural or pipe related projects.

In addition to the technical training, a critical aspect of a Lincoln education is developing the professional skills that are required by our employers. Students will need to demonstrate skill proficiency through a series of professional development activities and seminars which are integrated into each course. The modules include:
