The Advanced Materials Manufacturing program prepares individuals to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills to the identification and resolution of production problems in the manufacture of products. Includes instruction in machine operations, production line operations, engineering analysis, systems analysis, instrumentation, physical controls, automation, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), manufacturing planning, quality control, materials and processes, and informational infrastructure.
Coursework must be completed with a “C” or better.
*Students interested in the Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Management and Leadership should be advised to take MATH 1000 Problem Solving or higher, advanced writing (AW), or ECON/AGEC 1010 Macroeconomics or ECON/AGEC 1020 Microeconomics as general education options. (If a student is considering transfer to university or college for advanced studies, MATH 1500 is a career technical course, and is not transferrable).
