The 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 that may choose to transfer to a four-year institution. 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 an Associate of Applied Science in Engineering - Automated Manufacturing Technology.
