Advanced Manufacturing, Associate in Science
The Advanced Manufacturing Department offers the opportunity for students to excel by providing the latest information and technology in both the lecture and laboratory settings. The Advanced Manufacturing program has included the most modern software and hardware to provide a good environment for learning. The inclusion of additive manufacturing, laser technology, 3-5 axis CNC milling, CNC Turning, CMM inspection, CAD/CAM fundamentals, and continued use of general manufacturing processes gives the students access to industrial tools and technologies found in industry. A comprehensive set of undergraduate courses are offered for students interested in working toward the completion of a COA in CNC Machine Operation, COA in CNC Machinist, as well as the A.S. in Advanced Manufacturing, transfer classes for university credit and general interest courses for the returning student looking for skill improvement and employment in local industry.
