The Engineering-Automated Manufacturing Technology program is designed to prepare
students with the opportunity for 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) the Associate in CAM 2.5 Axis Milling and Turning for Machinist
and (2) the Associate in AutoCAD for Design and Drafting (150 hours of relevant Autodesk
software experience is required for the Associate in AutoCAD). 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 in Engineering - Automated Manufacturing Technology.
