The Area of Concentration in Engineering-Automated Manufacturing Technology A.A.S.
is designed to prepare students with theory-based (knowledge) and performance-based
(hands-on) experiences crucial to advanced and automated manufacturing processes.
This pathway is suggested for students seeking direct entry into the workforce upon
graduating. Through the integration of mathematics, robotics, metallurgy, manual tooling
skills, programmable machinery applications, computer-assisted machining techniques
and additive manufacturing, students can acquire the critical skills leading to successful
employment. Students will be eligible for National certification based on industry-written,
industry-approved standards through the National Institute of Metalworking Skills
(NIMS). Rigorous and highly disciplined, NIMS credentials have been vetted in partnership
with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
NIMS credentialing opportunities throughout the coursework will include fourteen skill
specific credentials and a special merit certificate. These credentials will include
the following: (1) Measurement, Materials, and Safety, (2) Job Planning, Benchwork,
and Layout, (3) Drill Press Skills I, (4) Manual Milling Skills I, (5) Turning Operations:
Between Centers I, (6) Turning Operations: Chucking Skills I, (7) CNC Milling: Programming
Setup & Operations, (8) CNC Milling: Operator, (9) CNC Turning: Programming Setup
& Operations, (10) CNC Turning: Operator, (11) Metalforming, (12) Electrical Discharge
Machining (EDM): Plunge, (13) Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM): 2-Axis Wire, (14)
Grinding Skills I, and (15) NIMS Machining Certificate of Special Merit. Through coursework
in computer-aided design/ computer-aided manufacturing, students will be prepared
to test for two additional industry credentials. Credentials include (1) Autodesk
Certified User and (2) Mastercam 2D Mill Certification. Students will be eligible
for three additional certifications in automation and additive manufacturing. These
include the following: (1) FANUC Certified Robot Operator I, (2) FANUC Certified Robot
Operator II, and (3) Stratasys Additive Manufacturing Certification.
Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for an Associate
of Applied Science Degree in Engineering-Automated Manufacturing Technology – Area
of Concentration in Engineering.
