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, metallurgy, computer-aided design software, 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 thirteen skill
specific credentials and one 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) Grinding Skills
I, (13) Quality Inspector and (14) NIMS Machining Certificate of Special Merit.
Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for a Certificate
in Engineering-Automated Manufacturing Technology.
