The Engineering-Automated Manufacturing Technology Certificate Program is designed to prepare students with theory-based (knowledge) and performance-based (hands-on) experiences crucial to advanced and automated manufacturing processes. 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 a Certificate in Engineering-Automated Manufacturing Technology.
