Manufacturing and Technology is a field of study designed to prepare technically oriented individuals for employment in industries such as industrial and automotive manufacturing, equipment technology and maintenance, tool and die maintenance, biomedical equipment technology, industrial and commercial electronics, and computer aided drafting/design (CADD). Manufacturing and Technology offers seven options that cover these areas: (1) Industrial Technology, (2) Biomedical Equipment Technology (3) Tool and Die Technology, (4) Automated Manufacturing, (5) Electronics, (6) Computer Aided Drafting/Design (CADD), and (7) Telecom­­munications (Outside Plant Design.) Electives allow those students to pursue Advanced Welding, and CNC Machining competencies.

Check with your four-year institution for the transferability of courses in this program. This program is not designed to transfer to a four-year institution.

Certificate Requirements

The program is designed to be an intermediate recognition step for individuals working towards their Manufacturing and Technology associate degree. All course work in the certificate will apply to the corresponding Associate in Applied Science degree. Upon completion of the prescribed courses, the college awards a certificate.

Prior to taking courses, the student is to meet with the advisor and develop a plan for satisfying program requirements.

To be eligible for a certificate students must:

•      Complete the following courses.

•      Be eligible for ENG 101 and make an appropriate score on the Reading WorkKeys test.

•      Be eligible for MTH 100 and make an appropriate score on the Math WorkKeys test .

•      Have a minimum 2.00 grade point average in Jefferson State courses.
