AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING
SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY
Program of Studies Leading to the A.A.S. Degree
This program is structured as an interdisciplinary approach to train persons to become
highly skilled manufacturing technicians in a rapidly expanding “high tech” computer-based
manufacturing/robotic controlled environment. Students will develop skills who
become familiar with electrical, mechanical and hydraulic/pneumatic devices, computer-aided
design and computer-assisted robotic and manufacturing processes. Graduates of this program
would be employed as manufacturing technicians with the ability to set up and operate
conventional tool machines, also program, test, troubleshoot, and repair electromechanical
components within an automated manufacturing system.
This course also affords the opportunity for graduates to pursue advanced studies leading
to a Bachelor of Science or Technology degree in Manufacturing, Engineering Technology
at a four-year institution. However, specific planning involving the assistance of an advisor,
is recommended in each case.
