Nanofabrication Manufacturing Technology,
Associate in Applied Science (NMT)
The NMT program introduces a series of new courses and an associate
degree with an emphasis on high-tech industries. The goal of this program is
to prepare graduates for employment as entry-level nanofabrication technicians.
Nanofabrication manufacturing involves making devices at the smallest
dimensions and was first used in the semiconductor (computer chip) industry.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
• Describe the operation and application of commonly used electronic
components and circuits.
• Repair malfunctions in electrical and electro-mechanical instruments.
• Fix electrical and electro-mechanical instruments.
• Regulate scientific and industrial instruments.
• Examine input/output parameters of electrical/mechanical devices.
• Construct electrical and electro-mechanical devices.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the terminology, procedures, equipment,
and processes used in semiconductor processing.
• Demonstrate safe and appropriate maintenance techniques for basic
semiconductor processing equipment.
• Operate nanofabrication processing equipment with a focus on safety,
environmental and health issues.
• Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the materials handling
procedures related to advanced electronic and manufacturing technologies.
• Identify material and physical hazards associated with basic semiconductor
processing equipment.
• Communicate advanced technical concepts in an oral, written, and
graphical form.
• Use the computer in reporting, analyzing, and researching technical information.
• Provide an active problem-solving link between engineers and production
personnel.
• Record relevant information in a working lab notebook.
• Identify industries using nanofabrication technology such as opto-electronics,
biomedical, sensors, flat panel displays, information storage, microelectromechanical
devices, micro-fluidics, solar cells, and microelectronics.

A unique feature of this program is that students take their final semester of
study at the University Park campus of Penn State. Students enroll in the NMT
program during their first three semesters at Delaware County Community
College. During the final semester, students are registered as DCCC students
but spend the entire semester in a hands-on training experience in
nanofabrication manufacturing at Pennsylvania State University. A total of 18
credit hours are taken to complete the capstone semester. The six courses are
presented sequentially in three phases for five weeks each. The first phase
covers TEL 260 and TEL 261 followed by TEL 262 and TEL 263, and finally
TEL 264 and TEL 265. Students who successfully complete the four-semester
program are awarded an Associate Degree in Applied Science in
Nanofabrication Manufacturing Technology.

Nursing, Associate in Applied Science (NURS)
The mission of the DCCC associate degree nursing program is to provide a
curriculum where students, committed to the value of caring, can develop
competencies essential to safe, effective nursing practice in a variety of health
care settings within the community.
The nursing curriculum prepares students for positions as beginning staff
nurses in a variety of settings; i.e. acute- and long-term/transitional care
facilities and community settings.
Upon successful completion of the curriculum, students receive an associate
in applied science (AAS) degree and are eligible to sit for the state licensure
examination to become registered nurses (NCLEX-RN).
Most nursing students attend classes at the College and off-campus sites. For
residents of Chester County, two sections are available with nursing classes at
The Chester County Hospital.
