PRECISION MANUFACTURING

In the world of manufacturing, precision machinists are depended upon to design, upgrade, maintain, operate and control all of the modern, computer-controlled production equipment and facilities equipment. Students in the Precision Manufacturing program receive an in-depth multi-disciplinary education in mathematics, robotics, industrial mechanics, manufacturing processes, and methods.

These courses prepare students to install, program, operate, maintain, service, and diagnose electromechanical equipment used in manufacturing applications. Upon completion, they will be able to interpret drawings using industry standards, safely use and operate standard industrial tools and equipment, and maintain, inspect, service and repair industrial control systems and programmable logic controllers among other tasks.

Graduates of this program will receive a Precision Manufacturing diploma. They may find entry-level employment as industrial/mechanical maintenance technicians, machinists, millwrights, automation technicians, flexible manufacturing technicians, robotics technicians, or as supervisors in a variety of settings that require automated manufacturing skills.
