Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

PURPOSE: The advanced manufacturing technology degree is designed to meet the evolving workforce needs of business and industry. Manufacturing today depends on the combination of new technology, new materials and advanced processes. The degree provides the student with the general knowledge and technical foundation skills in the areas of quality control, rapid prototyping, lean production technologies, supply chain management and computer integrated manufacturing. The program prepares the student to function effectively as an advanced manufacturing technician or serve in a supervisory position in a manufacturing setting.

By the completion of this program, students will be expected to demonstrate an intermediate level of competency in the following skills:

Describe the principles and techniques of quality engineering for management, design, production, and assurance of quality.
Define the process of planning, organizing, and controlling the flow of materials and services from suppliers to customers.
Install, program, and troubleshoot programmable controllers.
Read and interpret blueprints and working drawings.
Collaborate in teams to improve quality and productivity.
Analyze the effects of various processes on industrial manufacturing processes.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS: Students must meet JTCC admissions requirements If students have deficiencies in English and/or mathematics, JTCC offers developmental courses to prepare students for the curriculum. Work-based learning is a required component of the program. Students without current or recent related work experience are responsible for securing their own internships, assisted by JTCC faculty. Students with current or related work experience are responsible for working with the faculty advisor to secure appropriate documentation. New students should visit the Advising Center and returning students their faculty advisor for more information.
