Advanced Manufacturing Technology: Basic Manual Machine Tool Technology Certificate Industrial & Trade Technology Total Units: 12
Term Effective: Fall 2023

Description:

The Advanced Manufacturing Technology: Basic Manual Machine Skills Certificate offers both theoretical and hands-on training related to manual lathes, vertical mills, drill presses, sawing machines and hand tools. A student enrolling in the program should have the desire and ability to work with their hands, possess a high degree of mechanical aptitude and enjoy working in a shop environment.

Individuals who complete the Advanced Manufacturing Technology: Basic Manual Machine Skills Certificate program are prepared for employment as machine operators in manual machine shops and automotive machine shops.

This certificate is part of a career ladder. Since technological advances and continued expansion of the machine tool industry have increased the demand for well trained, entry-level technicians locally, state-wide, and nationally. Students may choose to complete additional certificates, such as individuals with certificate level knowledge of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines and Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM) are especially in demand. For students interested in an Associate Degree, an Advanced Manufacturing Technology major is available.

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.

Notes:

Certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of all courses with a grade of "C" or better.
